{"product_id":"greenvoe","title":"Greenvoe","description":"Greenvoe, the tight-knit community on the Orcadian island of Hellya, has existed unchanged for generations, but Operation Black Star requires the island for unspecified purposes and threatens the islanders’ way of life. A whole host of characters - The Skarf, failed fishermen and Marxist historian; Ivan Westray, boatman and dallier; pious creeler Samuel Whaness; drunken fishermen Bert Kerston; earth-mother Alice Voar, and meths-drinker Timmy Folster - are vividly brought to life in this sparkling mixture of prose and poetry.In the end Operation Black Star fails, but not before it has ruined the island; but the book ends on a note of hope as the islanders return to celebrate the ritual rebirth of Hellya.","brand":"Birlinn General","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57834697883983,"sku":"9781846975059","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/e4eef10d394143d482112faa0759cdca9781846975059_1.jpg?v=1790997760","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/greenvoe","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
