{"product_id":"once-it-flowers-vinod-kumar-shukla-9789350297193","title":"Once It Flowers","description":"A thunderstorm blows the roof off a village school. Guruji, the school teacher, who lives in the school building with his family, is forced to seek shelter in an abandoned police station. The schoolhouse opens to the sky, and along with it, this intensely poetic novel opens up to the inner world of a dozen characters: Guruji, his wife, their two children, the village watchman, the tailor, the teashop owner at the railway station and the stationmaster. There is also the worldly-wise grocer, Jivrakhan, and his wife, who listens to the radio because nothing else will fill the emptiness in her life. A dreamlike novel that is an extraordinary evocation of modern India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vinod Kumar Shukla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9350297191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789350297193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.75d","brand":"Vinod Kumar Shukla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079560720639,"sku":"9789350297193","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a168cfaf-7c64-41a4-aa6e-579040706afd.jpg?v=1685481847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/once-it-flowers-vinod-kumar-shukla-9789350297193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
