{"product_id":"books-shawl-by-cynthia-ozick","title":"Shawl","description":"Two award-winning works of fiction by one of America's finest writers, together in one collection. In The Shawl, a woman named Rosa Lublin watches a concentration camp guard murder her daughter. In Rosa, that same woman appears 30 years later, a mad woman and a scavenger in a Miami hotel. She has no life in the present because her past will never end. In both stories, there is a shawl a shawl that can sustain a starving child, inadvertently destroy her, or magically conjure her back to life. Both stories were originally published in the New Yorker in the 1980s; each was included in the annual Best American Short Stories and awarded First Prize in the annual O. Henry Prize Stories collection. Each succeeds in imagining the unimaginable: the horror of the Holocaust and the unfillable emptiness of its aftermath. Fiercely immediate, complex, and unforgettable, each is a masterwork by a writer the New York Times hailed as the most accomplished and graceful literary stylist of our time.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771936563473,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780394579764.jpg?v=1783971037","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-shawl-by-cynthia-ozick","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
