{"product_id":"raisin-wine","title":"Raisin Wine: A Boyhood in a Different Muskoka","description":"A warm, at times hilarious, yet dark childhood memoir from a bestselling author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis memoir recalls the boyhood years of Ontario’s future lieutenant-governor, living in a dilapidated old house complete with outdoor toilet and coal oil-lamp lighting. Behind the outrageous stories, larger-than life-characters, and descriptions of the mores of a small village in the heart of Ontario’s cottage country are flashes of insight from the perspective of a child that recall the great classic \u003cb\u003eWho has Seen the Wind\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eby W.O. Mitchell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut why \"a different Muskoka?\" Because the boy was a half-breed kid. Visits to his mother’s reserve showed him that he was caught between two worlds. His mother’s fight with depression flowed from that dilemma. His father — the book’s main character — was a lovable, white, working class, happy-go-lucky guy who never had any money but who made the best home brew in the village — and his specialty was raisin wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike that raisin wine, this unusual book goes down easily and has a kick to it.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46196186415281,"sku":"9780771012648","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46196186448049,"sku":"d0b08208-09ce-485e-9000-00b9410ec790","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_e4794fd2-ac9d-4c44-b02a-1264269f3097.jpg?v=1763411435","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/raisin-wine","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
