{"product_id":"danticat-edwidge-the-farming-of-bones-9780349111636","title":"The Farming Of Bones","description":"It is 1937, and Amabelle Desir is a young Haitian woman working as a maid for a wealthy family in the Dominican Republic, across the border from her homeland. The Republic, under the iron rule of the Generalissimo, treats the Haitians as second-class citizens, and although Amabelle feels a strong sense of loyalty to her employers, especially since her own parents drowned crossing the river from Haiti, racial tensions are heightened when Amabelle's boss accidentally kills a Haitian in a car accident. The accident is a catalyst for a systematic round-up of Haitians, ostensibly for repatriation but in fact a prelude to slaughter. Amabelle, caught up in the chaos and confusion, returns to Haiti after much hardship to make a new life, but is for years uncertain of the fate of her lover, Sebastian, and haunted by a nagging sense of guilt. A powerful, fiercely economical and deceptively moving work, blending historical accuracy with lyrical brilliance.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53405966270806,"sku":"9780349111636-V","price":4.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53553172578646,"sku":"9780349111636-G","price":6.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780349111636_1_6f83f84b-6186-4bcc-9265-889adb0068ac.jpg?v=1778088787","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/danticat-edwidge-the-farming-of-bones-9780349111636","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
