{"product_id":"the-tent-miral-al-tahawy-9789774245428","title":"The Tent","description":"The Tent is a beautifully written, powerful, and disturbing novel, featuring a host of women characters whose lives are subject to the will of a single, often absent, patriarch and his brutal, foul-mouthed mother. Told through the eyes of a young girl, the lives of the Bedouin and peasant women unfold, revealing the tragedy of the sonless mother and the intolerable heaviness of existence. Set against trackless deserts and star-filled night skies, the story tells of the young girl's relationship with her distant father and a foreign woman who is well-meaning but ultimately motivated by self-interest. It provides an intimate glimpse inside the women's quarters, and chronicles their pastimes and preoccupations, their stories and their songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miral Al-Tahawy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9774245423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789774245428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American University in Cairo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Miral Al-Tahawy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941377835263,"sku":"9789774245428","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_70694a4d-ae98-41cc-80ed-2f686f32e451.jpg?v=1681452572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tent-miral-al-tahawy-9789774245428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
