{"product_id":"the-home-child","title":"The home child","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1908, Eliza Showell, twelve years old and newly orphaned, boards a ship that will carry her from the slums of the Black Country to rural Nova Scotia. She will never return to Britain or see her family again. She is a Home Child, one of thousands of British children sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants. In luminous and tender poems, Eliza's world unfolds, a place where ordinary things are transfigured into treasures - a red ribbon, the feel of a foal's mane, the sound of her name on someone's lips. With nothing to call her own, the wild beauty of Cape Breton is the only solace Eliza has - until another Home Child, a boy, comes to the farm and changes everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44290636873879,"sku":"9781529937817","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781529937817.jpg?v=1717061889","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/the-home-child","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
