{"product_id":"deer-island","title":"Deer Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the beginning of the 1980s Neil Ansell lived in a series of squats and derelict buildings across London. Becoming part of a floating community of rough sleepers and volunteers, who found purpose in providing companionship and support for one another. But Britain was changing - this was the decade of the individual and soon we would be told that 'there was no such thing as society.' Out of his experiences Ansell has woven a beautifully told tale, interleaving the streets of the capital with journeys through the wilds of Jura (a Norse word for deer island), building a powerful and moving meditation on belonging. This is the first paperback edition of the highly praised memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 144 pages | Published February 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63970452046173,"sku":"9781915068330","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781915068330.jpg?v=1774375239","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/deer-island","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
