{"product_id":"land-of-a-thousand-hills-rosamond-halsey-carr-9780452282025","title":"Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda","description":"In 1949, Rosamond Halsey Carr, a young fashion illustrator living in New York City, accompanied her dashing hunter-explorer husband to what was then the Belgian Congo. When the marriage fell apart, she decided to stay on in neighboring Rwanda, as the manager of a flower plantation\u003ci\u003e. Land of a Thousand Hills\u003c\/i\u003e is Carr's thrilling memoir of her life in Rwanda--a love affair with a country and a people that has spanned half a century. During those years, she has experienced everything from stalking leopards to rampaging elephants, drought, the mysterious murder of her friend Dian Fossey, and near-bankruptcy. She has chugged up the Congo River on a paddle-wheel steamboat, been serenaded by pygmies, and witnessed firsthand the collapse of colonialism. Following 1994's Hutu-Tutsi genocide, Carr turned her plantation into a shelter for the lost and orphaned children-work she continues to this day, at the age of eighty-seven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosamond Halsey Carr, Ann Howard Halsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452282020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452282025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.02w x 0.61d","brand":"Rosamond Halsey Carr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048750248191,"sku":"9780452282025","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba27b071-2149-40ff-b34f-2c811d6324d6.jpg?v=1684997606","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-of-a-thousand-hills-rosamond-halsey-carr-9780452282025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
