{"product_id":"in-the-minds-eye","title":"Lucy Grealy: In the Mind's Eye [1994] hardback","description":"At the age of nine, the author was knocked on the jaw in her school playground. What her family initially thought was a toothache brought on by the accident, turned out to be Ewing's syndrome, a rare form of cancer which, at the time of its diagnosis, had a 95% mortality rate. For a family with problems of their own, Lucy's cancer treatment became an almost intolerable burden. The response of her family made Lucy feel like an outsider - and she alied herself with other outsiders, including transvestites and New Agers in an attempt to feel she belonged. This book is a memoir of Lucy's struggle with childhood cancer and disfigurement and her search for self identity in the midst of long-term facial reconstructive surgery.","brand":"Grealy, Lucy","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":47417352225107,"sku":"XG80712659611","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/in-the-minds-eye","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
