{"product_id":"blasket-bound-by-lesley-bond","title":"Blasket Bound By Lesley Bond","description":"Blasket Bound is a compelling memoir of six months spent as caretaker on the Great Blasket Island, one of Ireland's most remote and historically significant locations. With no electricity, hot water, or modern conveniences, Lesley Bond and her partner Gordon experienced a way of life stripped to its essentials, where the island's haunting past remained ever-present.\n\nWeaving together personal reflection and historical investigation, Bond chronicles her encounters on the island while exploring the lives of its last inhabitants and the evacuation of the 1950s. This unique narrative examines how environment and inherited history shape identity, revealing how places leave an indelible mark on those who inhabit them. A meditation on belonging, isolation, and the enduring power of the past.","brand":"Argosy Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59577360318798,"sku":"9781804584224","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6574\/4308\/files\/BlasketBound.png?v=1778769099","url":"https:\/\/shop.russborough.ie\/products\/blasket-bound-by-lesley-bond","provider":"Russborough Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
