{"product_id":"little-wonder","title":"Little Wonder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA musical prodigy and his mother spend years searching for each other in this beautiful, sweeping novel of hope, perseverance, and love. Song is a nobody-just a food delivery worker from a village in Northeastern China-but her son, River, is a little wonder. At the age of three, he toddled to a piano and tapped out his favourite song. At five, he mastered Liszt's three Liebestr ume; at eight, he blazed through the complete set of Chopin's etudes. And at every step, through loss, illness and poverty, Song has been there to light his way-until finally, at the age of eleven, River is invited to study with a preeminent teacher in Beijing. But in the chaos of Beijing Railway Station on the busiest day of the year, Song faces every mother's nightmare: she loses her grip on River's little hand and is unable to find him after a desperate, harrowing search. Over the next days, weeks, and eventually, years, Song and River fight to forge a path back to each other as they carve out new lives that carry them farther apart. An evocative exploration of a mother's love and a son's yearning, Little Wonder takes us on an extraordinary journey through a modern Beijing that pulses with the music of humanity and its impossible-and impossibly brave-hopes. As every musician knows: You start in one key. You wander to other keys, strange and distant places. But in the end, you always come back home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiction: general and literary, Family life fiction, Fiction and Related items\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSophie Chen Keller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e352 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH: 233mm W: 154mm Spine: 28mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 424 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fig Tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46533604016278,"sku":"9780241845516","price":38.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4978\/0118\/files\/jacket-44_6cee914f-f424-4090-bfcc-b8931ac44e58.jpg?v=1786942553","url":"https:\/\/www.tawabooksandpost.co.nz\/products\/little-wonder","provider":"Tawa Books \u0026 Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
