In this all-too-relatable love story in a city suffocating under late-stage capitalism, a young couple is pitted against odd after odd in a way that isn't about testing one's character anymore--it's simply reality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJack, a second-generation Chinese Canadian cab driver meets Veronyka, an undocumented factory worker and waitress from Moldova, as he's bringing her from one job to the other. Their\u003cbr\u003echance encounter blooms into an unlikely romance, stolen in moments between shifts, and then a hasty marriage, which solves migration issues but brings the pair even deeper into the challenges of providing for themselves and their families. The painful death of both of Jack's parents and the sense of helplessness that has dogged both of their families leads Jack and Veronkya to desperate measures to escape. Some hard work mixed with some political blackmail brings them to a new life, but at what cost?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Macmahon,Thomas McKechnie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0369104404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780369104403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Playwrights Canada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Anthony Macmahon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435410075903,"sku":"9780369104403","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3a2b5b5-36ec-4839-8715-d9bfdeb5567f.jpg?v=1777150200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jungle-anthony-macmahon-9780369104403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
