{"product_id":"9781471193477","title":"That Bonesetter Woman: the new feelgood novel from the author of The Smallest Man","description":"\u003ci\u003eIt’s usual, they say, for a young person coming to London for the first time to arrive with a head full of dreams. Well, Endurance Proudfoot did not. When she stepped off the coach from Sussex, on a warm and sticky afternoon in the summer of 1757, it never occurred to her that the city would be the place where she’d make her fortune; she was just very annoyed to be arriving there at all.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Meet Endurance Proudfoot, the bonesetter’s daughter: clumsy as a carthorse, with a tactless tongue and a face she’s sure only a mother could love. Durie only wants one thing in life – to follow her father and grandfather into the family business of bonesetting. It’s a physically demanding job, requiring strength, nerves of steel and discretion – and not the job for a woman.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But Durie isn’t like other women. She’s strong and stubborn and determined to get her own way. And she finds that she has a talent at bonesetting – her big hands and lack of grace have finally found their natural calling. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e So, when she is banished to London with her sister, who is pretty, delicate and exactly the opposite to Durie in every way, Durie will not let it stop her realising her dreams. And while her sister will become one of the first ever Georgian celebrities, Durie will become England’s first and most celebrated female bonesetter. But what goes up must come down, and Durie’s elevated status may well become her undoing…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Praise for Frances Quinn's brilliant first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Smallest Man\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘Nat Davy is so charming that I couldn't bear to put this book down.
