We hear from poor folk making the best of past hardships (\"Coal\"); rich folk plotting future selfishness (\"The Goodness of My Heart\"); and a young girl, forced to shoulder her mother's burdens in addition to her own (\"Lollipop\"). Bookending these are two powerful stories about the inextricability of home and history: in \"The Pain Tree,\" the protagonist realizes the love she abandoned, and the pain she left behind; in \"Flying,\" the lead character, searching for his missing piece, comes home for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olive Senior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770864342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770864344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cormorant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/27\/2016","brand":"Olive Senior","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049754161407,"sku":"9781770864344","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2e6df8a-44c4-4d29-812e-10d6fca8df80.jpg?v=1685003271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pain-tree-olive-senior-9781770864344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
