In vivid, lyrical “spontaneous prose,” Kerouac captures the intensity of adolescence—the sports triumphs, the family ties, the crush-feeding fantasies and the romantic ache—against the backdrop of American small-town life. Beneath the sweetness lies a wistfulness: the promise of youth tangled with longing and the awareness that such moments are fleeting.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568163090771,"sku":"2014","price":225.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/57_766d5f69-2fd8-4be9-a2bb-ac92d81692e8.jpg?v=1765459183","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/maggie-cassidy-jack-kerouac-first-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
