{"product_id":"worlds-apart-surviving-identity-and-henry-pavlovich-9781847282262","title":"Worlds Apart Surviving Identity and Memory","description":"Worlds Apart is a novel about survival and a search for identity through memory. It looks at the choices forced on us and those we avoid making. It begins and ends with a fairy story told to the young David Wilenski by his mother in a refugee camp in England. The adult David looks back at life in that camp, realising its taboos hide a story and pose a question over identities and the past. The protagonists are his parents: Jadwiga, transported to the Soviet Gulag under Stalin, and Wladek, taken as a slave labourer to Hitler's Reich. Dogged by guilt, through archives and accounts prised from his reluctant parents, David reassembles the shattered smithereens of their lives. A remarkable picture emerges of ordinary people struggling through war, love, and growing up, one in the \"Jerusalem of the North\" - riven by antagonistic nations - the other on an idyllic rural stage that is a military colony. These are the borderlands of 20th century Eastern Europe and a refugee camp in the borderlands of the UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Pavlovich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847282261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847282262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Henry Pavlovich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486182289663,"sku":"9781847282262","price":22.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6d45d14-fedb-49f9-a3ad-034afc6c8e89.jpg?v=1778054214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worlds-apart-surviving-identity-and-henry-pavlovich-9781847282262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
