{"product_id":"somersaults-mira-mack-9781800319189","title":"Somersaults: Through the Keyhole","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are somersaults and there are somersaults. Physically ... no big deal. Lots of people can do them. This book is about the other kind of somersaults - through life. In this case, from a little girl plunked into the mid-fifties in socialist Czechoslovakia to a rebel at school with beliefs twisted and turned by social storms. Then in 1968, her family lives through morphing into socialism with a human face, the consequent invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies, and ultimately, the Russian occupation. And eventually, for many ordinary people, the reality of the so-called Velvet Revolution of 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the girl grows into a young woman, she fights with traditions and old thinking. Plenty of humour, the discovery of limits, many sides of the same coin, the power of friendship, stepping into worlds of taboo, and challenging one's own fear - every somersault has consequences. Intimate, funny, honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoyed this book, try the sequel: Czech Mate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mira Mack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800319185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800319189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Generation Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Mira Mack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126727045375,"sku":"9781800319189","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b720081-ce9b-4664-86df-4d2c4df79648.jpg?v=1687449817","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/somersaults-mira-mack-9781800319189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
