{"product_id":"9781529424140","title":"Did I ever tell you?","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is a deeply moving memoir of a young daughter, her dying mother - and the trail of letters and gifts she left behind. 'Her messages met me like guideposts in a dark forest; if her words couldn't point the way, at least they offered the comfort of knowing someone had been there before'. Ten days before Gwen Kingston turned twelve, her beloved mother - with whom she shared a birthday - died. She left behind two chests - one for Gwen and one for her brother - filled with lovingly wrapped presents and letters marking the milestones she would miss: driver's licences, graduations and every one of their birthdays until the age of thirty. Each gift a chance to reach back into the past and, for the briefest moment, hear her voice again. In this heart-rending memoir, Gwen describes growing up in the shadow of loss, guided by what her mother left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercus","offers":[{"title":"Genevieve \/ Kingston","offer_id":55480087740790,"sku":"9781529424140","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/files\/9781529424140.jpg?v=1744210495","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781529424140","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
