{"product_id":"jacqueline-roy-the-fat-lady-sings","title":"Jacqueline Roy: The Fat Lady Sings","description":"A groundbreaking novel exploring the intersection between race, class and mental health in the UK\n\nIt is the 1990s, and Gloria is living in a London psychiatric ward. She is unapologetically loud, audacious and eternally on the brink of bursting into song.\nAfter several months of uninterrupted routine, she is joined by another young black woman - Merle - who is full of silences and fear.\n\nUnable to confide in their doctors, they agree to journal their pasts. Whispered into tape recorders and scrawled ferociously at night, the remarkable stories of their lives are revealed.\n\nIn this tender, deeply-moving depiction of mental health, Roy creates a striking portrait of two women finding strength in their shared vulnerability, as they navigate a system that fails to protect them. Life-affirming and fearlessly hopeful, this is an unforgettable story.","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53091005727036,"sku":"fo1whkkqs0fly1ovm384dqup","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3468\/5756\/files\/9780241482698-1.jpg?v=1779933182","url":"https:\/\/knizhka.us\/products\/jacqueline-roy-the-fat-lady-sings","provider":"Книжка US","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
