{"product_id":"the-white-chiffon-sari-mithra-venkatraj-9781482819526","title":"The White Chiffon Sari","description":"Spanning a range of locales, time periods, themes, and styles, no two stories here are alike. Told subtly and with empathy, the stories are multifaceted and multilayered and explore a wide range of subjects, such as the following: - The complex emotions of a growing-up boy as he observes a young woman's bright life being blighted by her jealous sister. - Innocent children watch uncomprehendingly the misfortunes of a woman whom they love. She is an unintended victim of her feudal master's machinations. - The unconventional but abiding love of two girls for each other, with the witness to their lives having issues of her own. - Age, greed, and time ruining a once-beautiful house and its proud owner - The delusional aspirations of a woman and her bewildering inner world. - An ageing woman seeing herself and the life spent in the mirror of modernity and seeking change. - An endearing story of a child-bride of earlier times. - A young woman overcoming induced prejudices and rediscovering the preciousness of a once-spurned relationship. The stories infuse newness into many enduring and vast themes, like relationships, prejudices, a judgmental society, of changing conventions, and in general, of life as it goes on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mithra Venkatraj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148281952X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482819526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Partridge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Mithra Venkatraj","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458730766591,"sku":"9781482819526","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd8f1ba2-f991-49c2-895b-87560906ef7e.jpg?v=1777406264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-white-chiffon-sari-mithra-venkatraj-9781482819526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
