{"product_id":"9781788641937","title":"At the Heart's Farthest Edge","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn October 2020, as new lock downs were implemented, Jan Fortune moved from a beloved home of twenty years in North Wales to a tiny hamlet in a forest in Finist�re. Isolated during lockdowns, facing major unforeseen house renovations, illness and bereavement, she was also training as a herbalist while juggling work.   Constantly, she asked herself: What are you doing here?How had a moment in a church gazing at a stained glass window as a four-year-old, a friendship between two girls who role-played their way through seven years as people from 10th century Moorish Spain, a thirty-one year volatile marriage, work-place assaults, a heart-changing encounter with herbalism and a new relationship led to this place in the seventh decade of life?At the heart's farthest edge unravels a series of cusp moments so slight they might have vanished unnoticed, yet in retrospect make sense of following a call to a forest in a new land and language, exploring herbalism, creativity and the ways in which we might live a small life well in this beautiful, wounded world.   Friendship, motherhood, love, making art and the natural world collide with the times we live in to produce a love letter to moments that persist across years, shining with joy or the sheen of tears, revealing how our deepest stories matter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":59577463865678,"sku":"9781788641937","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781788641937.jpg?v=1779393491","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781788641937","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
