{"product_id":"waiting-for-the-rain-lamees-al-ethari-9781988449906","title":"Waiting for the Rain: An Iraqi Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this memoir, Lamees Al Ethari traces her transition from an idyllic childhood in a large extended Iraqi family to the relative stability of an exilic family life in Canada. Through memory fragments, flights of poetry, diary entries, and her own art, the author reveals the trauma suffered by Iraqis, caused by three senseless wars, dehumanizing sanctions, a brutal dictatorship, and a foreign occupation. Finely observed, highly personal, and intensely moving, this account also gives testimony to the Iraqi people's resilience and the humanity they manage to preserve in the face of adversity. It is the other voice, behind the news flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lamees Al Ethari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988449901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988449906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/28\/2020 pg. 1","brand":"Lamees Al Ethari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442782613759,"sku":"9781988449906","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_711b4455-bef9-40e4-8b9b-af745e063ab1.jpg?v=1777199739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waiting-for-the-rain-lamees-al-ethari-9781988449906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
