{"product_id":"9781919247106","title":"Hey Man","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"If all that follows reads like a love story, that's what it was...\"Hey Man�is the story of Ian and Tommy, whose rich and tender friendship stretches across three fateful decades.   Their story begins in 1989, when seventeen-year-old Dubliner Ian finds himself lodging with thirty-year-old actor Tommy in London. A summer of long nights and early mornings leaves an indelible mark on them both.� Then, the adventure ends. Tommy vanishes, and Ian is left with the ache of something unfinished.   When they meet again in Dublin, fifteen years later, Ian is Brother Eugene, a Benedictine monk searching for meaning in devotion, while Tommy is navigating fame, divorce, and his familiar restlessness. The old spark is there-but so are the questions: what did they mean to each other, and why does it still matter?At Tommy's sixtieth birthday, with illness casting its shadow, the truths long buried rise to the surface.�Tender and devastating, Hey Man�is a meditation on the mysteries of male friendship and the bonds that shape a life.   An ode to male friendship-wise, wry, poetic, and deeply moving.�\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59577511182670,"sku":"9781919247106","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781919247106.jpg?v=1777972303","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781919247106","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
