Helen Vendler's beautifully written book will do precisely this.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44873145811163,"sku":"9780006388845-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780006388845-us-300.jpg?v=1708424854","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780006388845-secondhand-seamus-heaney","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
