{"product_id":"the-left-and-the-lucky-willy-vlautin","title":"The Left and the Lucky - Willy Vlautin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe moving, large-hearted story of a young boy in danger of slipping through society's cracks and the unlikely father figure who takes him under his wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'And try to breathe, man. You gotta remember to breathe. You won't get so panicky if you can remember that.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie Wilkens runs his own house-painting business. Forty-something and living alone, he just wants to take life one day at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen his eight-year-old neighbour, Russell, starts hanging around, Eddie sees that this small kid - with his single mother working nights and his violent older brother - is struggling to keep his head above water, and so tries to help. Equal parts heart wrenching and uplifting, The Left and the Lucky is a portrait of this unusual friendship - the ways hurt shatters people and the compassionate acts that can, maybe, hold some of those pieces together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback - New \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foster's Little Book Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56771709862268,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/9426\/6296\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_df2b7b2a-a866-4920-a43b-81df2f3765f5.jpg?v=1778663720","url":"https:\/\/fosterslittlebookshop.com\/products\/the-left-and-the-lucky-willy-vlautin","provider":"Foster's Little Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
