{"product_id":"9781837262434","title":"Bitter crop","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Bitter Crop' is an unconventional portrait of arguably America's most eminent jazz singer. Acclaimed biographer Paul Alexander shrewdly focuses on the last year of Billie Holiday's life - with relevant flashbacks to provide context - to evoke and examine the persistent magnificence of her artistry when it was supposed to have declined, in the wake of her drug abuse, relationships with violent men, and run-ins with the law. During her lifetime and after her death, Billie Holiday was often depicted as a down-on-her-luck junkie severely lacking in self-esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate","offers":[{"title":"Paul \/ Alexander","offer_id":55361430356341,"sku":"9781837262434","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781837262434.jpg?v=1746886349","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781837262434","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
