{"product_id":"the-godmother-and-other-stories-jan-lowe-shinebourne-9781900715874","title":"The Godmother and Other Stories","description":"The lyrical yet unsentimental stories in this collection offer a portrait of the postcolonial experience of Guyanese citizens. Four decades of history, from the 1960s to the present, are covered through the experiences of the different characters, including Harold, who celebrates the triumph of his Indian-supported political party; Chuni, who encounters the revolutionary rise of a new black middle class; and Sylvia, who confronts her Guyanese roots during an exile in England. A sensitivity to psychological undertones and a poetic sense of the Guyanese worldview allow these stories to resonate with the metaphysical and mundane transformations of the characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Lowe Shinebourne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1900715872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900715874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.46w x 0.38d","brand":"Jan Lowe Shinebourne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486236127487,"sku":"9781900715874","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ad237a7-ea36-40e1-ac40-ec8c8abd8a86.jpg?v=1778054484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-godmother-and-other-stories-jan-lowe-shinebourne-9781900715874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
