{"product_id":"a-wintry-day-in-damascus-jonathan-holt-shannon-9780615743004","title":"A Wintry Day in Damascus: Syrian Stories","description":"David, a Syrian-American living in Damascus, wakes one wintry morning to rare snowfall in the Syrian capital. The snow is a harbinger of things to come as David makes his way through the city streets, where chance encounters not only have the potential to change his life, but could also change the course of Syrian history. Set in Damascus on the eve of the revolutionary transformations that began in March 2011, A Wintry Day offers insights into everyday life in Syria, from music, art, literature, and cuisine, to the nuances of political resistance, state corruption and violence, the Palestinian problem, women's issues, and the complex mosaic of peoples and social classes that make up Syrian society today. A Wintry Day is also a love story revolving around the budding romance of David and Nidal, a Palestinian journalist. It is most of all a paean to the strength and beauty of the Syrian people based on the author's extensive experience in Syria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Holt Shannon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0615743005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615743004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nawfara Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Jonathan Holt Shannon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920368664831,"sku":"9780615743004","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2afac5a7-45e2-4112-912b-f9d474baef9a.jpg?v=1680815003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-wintry-day-in-damascus-jonathan-holt-shannon-9780615743004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
