{"product_id":"how-could-he-do-it","title":"Emma Charles: How Could He Do It? [2009] paperback","description":"In many ways, we were an ordinary family: mum, dad, two kids, three dogs, one rabbit, and two guinea pigs. I stayed at home, studying with the Open University, and dad worked, and the kids went to private schools. We lived in a rather nice semi in a rather nice area of Edinburgh, with a rather nice Volvo in the drive, and took rather nice holidays, wearing rather nice clothes. I loved Daniel deeply and I thought - no, I was sure - he loved me deeply, too. And we both loved our kids deeply (I thought). And that was as it should be. We had it made. In some ways, we weren't a completely ordinary family.There was Daniel, for one; he worked for most of the time. We were married as a ship's engineer, and so he was away from home for up to four months and then home on leave for up to two. And Tamsin, our fifteen-year-old daughter, had specific learning difficulties. But I'm pretty ordinary: an unlikely heroine. I am disabled because of back problems. I'm pretty fat - I've put on a lot of weight through lack of exercise and, yes, comfort-eating! Not the stuff of movies.\u003cbr\u003eBut I never for a moment dreamt that my family was all that extraordinary - until that day when Tamsin broke down and told me that her father, my loving husband, had been sexually abusing her.","brand":"Charles, Emma","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46510659764563,"sku":"9781848090002","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/charles-emma-how-could-he-do-it-9781848090002-49039742370131.jpg?v=1681323099","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/how-could-he-do-it","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
