{"product_id":"burnt-shadows-a-novel-1","title":"Burnt Shadows: A Novel","description":"Kamila Shamsie's Burnt Shadows is a story for our time by \"a writer of immense ambition and strength. . . . This is an absorbing novel that commands in the reader a powerful emotional and intellectual response\" -Salman Rushdie.\n\nWinner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award\nAn Orange Prize Finalist\n\nNagasaki, August 9, 1945. Hiroko Tanaka watches her lover from the veranda as he leaves. Sunlight streams across Urakami Valley, and then the world goes white.\n\nIn the devastating aftermath of the atomic bomb, Hiroko leaves Japan in search of new beginnings. From Delhi, amid India's cry for independence from British colonial rule, to New York City in the immediate wake of 9\/11, to the novel's astonishing climax in Afghanistan, a violent history casts its shadow the entire world over. Sweeping in its scope and mesmerizing in its evocation of time and place, this is a tale of love and war, of three generations, and three world-changing historic events.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312551878\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0312551878.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shamsie, Kamila\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
