{"product_id":"9781068176692","title":"The Wrong Son : A memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wrong Son is a memoir of emotional precision - a searching, unsparingaccount of what it means to come into being in the absence of love.         In 1963, a young husband loses his pregnant wife and eighteen-month-old sonin a car accident. Six months later, he meets a woman who abandons her ownhusband and child for him - a man who seems to her everything she has everwanted.         Within two years, a boy is born into this family of grief and guilt, into a housealready filled with ghosts, where neither parent can see him clearly throughwhat each has lost.         His mother demands perfection. His father, meanwhile, decides early on thatthis child exists only because the first one died - and cannot forgive him for it.         Moulded by his mother, rejected by his father, he is given no space in which tobecome himself.         Throughout his life, no matter how much he tries to invent himself, he is drivenby the fear that nothing real exists underneath. Fifty years on, after his parents'deaths, that fear begins to unmoor him.         He turns to the work of psychoanalysts who were pioneers of early childhoodpsychology around the time he was born.         Drawing on the insights of D.W. Winnicott and Jacques Lacan, The Wrong Sontraces a life shaped not only by loss and violence, but by psychic damage thatmay never fully be shaken off.         With forensic clarity and unexpected humour, The Wrong Son is a quietlydevastating work: deeply human, psychologically attuned, and unafraid to staywith what cannot be resolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProduct Information\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/summary\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Griffiths\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePagination:\u003c\/b\u003e 230 pages\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eImprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Weatherglass Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublished By:\u003c\/b\u003e Weatherglass Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBook Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Autobiography: literary\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 130 x 200 x 20\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eISBN13\/EAN\/SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068176692\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/details\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neil Griffiths","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56717585416578,"sku":"9781068176692","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781068176692.jpg?v=1781864788","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9781068176692","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
