{"product_id":"thus-speaks-mother-simorq-azadeh-azad-9781525528156","title":"Thus Speaks Mother Simorq","description":"In this collection of short stories, we follow a Persian mythological bird woman, Mother Simorq, who appears in many stories as a wise woman or a nanny. We read about teenage girls experiencing their coming of age within authoritarian or male-dominated environments and one little girl facing questions of life and death. We enter the world of a woman who transgresses oppressive social norms to be free and the nightmare of another one who has to commit murder to save her children. We see how women lost their power in human society as we read about a handful of symbolic characters interacting in a magical land. Finally, we revisit Sudaba, a mythical queen, as a contemporary Iranian woman in Canada, who loves her step-son like a traditional mother and pays heavily for her son-worshiping complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Azadeh Azad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1525528157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525528156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/28\/2018","brand":"Azadeh Azad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985487659263,"sku":"9781525528156","price":18.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54aca57a-4f2a-4883-a4dc-cd99b0ebe53c.jpg?v=1683277842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thus-speaks-mother-simorq-azadeh-azad-9781525528156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
