{"product_id":"9780552133036-secondhand-the-house-of-women","title":"The House Of Women","description":"Emma Funnell is the matriarch of Bramble House, built for her as a wedding gift. Now, in 1968, she is in her seventies, with the avowed intent of living to be a hundred. And, as she has always done, she continues to rule the roost, for apart from herself three generations of the Funnell family live in the house - all of them women. There is widowed daughter Victoria, increasingly a hypochondriac; granddaughter Lizzie, who bears the brunt of running the house, as well as enduring a loveless marriage to Len Hammond; and Peggy, her sixteen-year-old daughter, now trying to find the courage to drop the bomb-shell of her pregnancy into their midst. This explosive situation provides the springboard for a powerful and absorbing novel that explores, over a period of fifteen years, all that fate holds in store for the dwellers in the house of women, reaching its climax with a frank confrontation of a major social issue of today.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48582691815643,"sku":"9780552133036-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cab67c7e-2de1-4abe-89b8-5053b243669f.jpg?v=1775787958","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780552133036-secondhand-the-house-of-women","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
