In it, the unfortunate Rachel, who is in desperate straits and has to undergo a terrifying ordeal, realizes that she has just found an unexpected opportunity to avenge the death of her mother and brutal torture of her father during a pogrom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe action unfolds in the mid-19th century in the decadent Portuguese colony of Goa in India. The tense and dramatic plot, the graphic images of the city, as it is gradually consumed by the march of time, make the novel truly remarkable in both strength and artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurice Magre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612276741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612276748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Maurice Magre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44966359138559,"sku":"9781612276748","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1a78c7f-3450-47a9-ae33-fcf462463a55.jpg?v=1711159623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poison-of-goa-maurice-magre-9781612276748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
