{"product_id":"the-wrong-boy","title":"The Wrong Boy","description":"The hilarious, bittersweet novel from the playwright behind EDUCATING RITA, SHIRLEY VALENTINE and award-winning musical BLOOD BROTHERS.\r\n\r\nDear Morrissey,\r\nI'm feeling dead depressed and down. Like a streetlamp without a bulb or a goose at the onset of Christmas time.\r\nAnyroad, I thought I'd pen a few lines to someone who'd understand...\r\n\r\nIt's 1991. Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town. Only lately, he's been feeling dead down. His dad left home after falling in love with a five-string banjo. His fun-hating grandma believes she should have married Jean-Paul Sartre: 'I could never read his books, but y' could tell from his picture, there was nothing frivolous about John-Paul Sartre.' Felonious Uncle Jason and Appalling Aunty Paula are lusting after the satellite dish.\r\n\r\nAnd so he turns to the one person who'll understand what he's going through: Morrissey. Told through a series of heartfelt letters to the frontman of The Smiths, this is a laugh-out-loud funny, incredibly poignant tale from a character you can't help but love.\r\n\r\n'Big-hearted, wonderfully funny and engrossing' THE MIRROR\r\n\r\n'A warm, funny, poignant story. I loved The Wrong Boy - and so will you' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH\r\n\r\n'A comic masterpiece' BEL MOONEY, MAIL ON SUNDAY","brand":"Willy Russell","offers":[{"title":"Transworld \/ 01 Jul 2001 \/ 494A","offer_id":52284746367317,"sku":"9780552996457","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9780552996457.webp?v=1768764482","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/the-wrong-boy","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
