In a world where daughters and fathers are strangers under the same roof, and crying children are often given something to cry about, hooks uncovers the solace to be found in solitude, the comfort to be had in the good company of books. Bone Black allows us to bear witness to the awakening of a legendary author's awareness that writing is her most vital breath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collected","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56356868555132,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/5662\/2637\/files\/9780349704968.jpg?v=1770896234","url":"https:\/\/collectedbooks.co.uk\/products\/caly-recommends-bone-black-bell-hooks","provider":"Collected","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
