{"product_id":"a-lake-beyond-the-wind-yahya-yakhlif-9781566563017","title":"A Lake Beyond the Wind","description":"The year is 1948; the place, Samakh, a small town on Lake Tiberias, north of Jerusalem. People in Samakh are waiting -- for what, exactly, they do not yet know. The whistle of the Haifa-Deraa train doesn't sound anymore. Abd al-Karim, the shopkeeper, no longer goes into the city to buy new stock. \"You townspeople, \" says Haj Mahmoud, leader of the fighters in the 1936 rebellion, \"had better start digging trenches. There are dark days ahead.\" A Lake Beyond the Wind is a novel about the most catastrophic year in Palestinian history, a time marked by violent clashes between Zionist forces and the volunteers of the Arab Liberation Army. Yakhlif tenderly gathers all the town folk, the soldiers of the beleaguered army, the animals and the natural world into his tale, which makes it all the more powerful a lament for a world that is no more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yahya Yakhlif\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566563011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566563017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interlink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.31w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/24\/1999 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1999 pg. 832","brand":"Yahya Yakhlif","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44584343142655,"sku":"9781566563017","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01fe750b-da6b-4fb0-8bae-3f73144d5b04.jpg?v=1701886546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-lake-beyond-the-wind-yahya-yakhlif-9781566563017","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
