{"product_id":"curriculum-vitae-1","title":"Curriculum Vitae","description":"Muriel Spark in the autobiography traces how one of the great modern writers in English emerged. Beginning with luminous evocations of a 1920s childhood in Edinburgh and memories of school, taught by the original Miss Jean Brodie, Spark recalls her formative years, up to the publication of her first novel in 1957. `In order to write about life as I intended to do, I felt I had first to live,' Spark says. In her account of her unhappy marriage in colonial Africa, her return to wartime London on a troop ship, working at the Foreign Office as one of the `girls of slender means', editing Poetry Review and her conversion to Catholicism, Muriel Spark outlines the life that provided material for some of the best-loved novels of the twentieth century.","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253224427864,"sku":"9781847771025","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781847771025_d9b7ba86-c8c4-4d80-ab72-68a43b18dc64.jpg?v=1765279555","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/curriculum-vitae-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
