{"product_id":"9780718157166","title":"Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year (OME C-Format)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe day her gifted twins leave home for university, Eva climbs into bed and  stays there. For seventeen years she's wanted to yell at the world, 'Stop! I  want to get off'. Finally, this is her chance. Perhaps she will be able to  think.  Her husband Dr Brian Beaver, an astronomer who divides  his time between gazing at the expanding universe, an unsatisfactory  eight-year-old affair with his colleague Titania and mooching in his shed, is  not happy. Who will cook dinner? Eva, he complains, is either having a breakdown  or taking attention-seeking to new heights.  But word of Eva's refusal to  get out of bed quickly spreads.  Alexander the dreadlocked white-van man  arrives to help Eva dispose of all her clothes and possessions and bring her tea  and toast. Legions of fans are writing to her or gathering in the street to  catch a glimpse of this 'angel'. Her mother Ruby is unsympathetic: 'She'd soon  get out of bed if her arse was on fire.'  And, though the world keeps  intruding, it is from the confines of her bed that Eva at last begins to  understand freedom.  The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year is a  funny and touching novel about what happens when someone stops being the person  everyone wants them to be.
