{"product_id":"9781529019582","title":"Most Precious of Cargoes","description":"'A magnificent small book to read urgently' Libération Once upon a time in an enormous forest there lived a poor woodcutter and his wife. Around them a war wages, and hunger is a constant companion. Yet every night, the woodcutter's wife prays for a child.On a train crossing the forest, a Jewish father holds his twin children. His wife no longer has enough milk to feed them. In hopes of saving both their lives, he wraps his daughter in a shawl and gently throws her from the train.  While foraging for food, the woodcutter’s wife finds a bundle, a baby girl wrapped in a shawl. She knows that this little girl will be pursued, but she cannot ignore this gift: she will accept the precious cargo, and raise her as her own. . .  Set against the horrors of the Holocaust and told with a fairytale-like lyricism, The Most Precious of Cargoes, translated from French by Frank Wynne, is a deeply moving fable about family and redemption, a story that reminds us that humanity can be found in the most inhumane of places.","brand":"Jean-Claude Grumberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46904267342142,"sku":"9781529019582","price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781529019582_a497766f-e46f-424a-9da9-992f5b67afef.jpg?v=1707533735","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781529019582","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
