{"product_id":"9781945335754","title":"Red Flour","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Palestinian novel about witnessing a massacre, and worse still, surviving it.Resurrected in Heaven, a bewildered survivor of a massacre flashes back to harrowing events unfolding in an unnamed besieged town, a camp ravished by hunger and swollen with displaced people and starving children, where a hopeful euphoria building at a breadline culminates in a tragedy and bleak dissolution. Centered on the theme of hunger, the essence of bread, and the magic of flour in a place on the brink of mass starvation, Red Flour is essentially a love story that takes place in a breadline. “But can love blossom in a place ravished by hunger?” Languishing under an unending siege and constant bombardment, the camp soon dwindles into a necropolis where bone-thin children wither away in the arms of hapless parents, dying a most agonizing death, before being loaded hurriedly into waiting wagons and buried in haste. And beyond starvation a flour massacre unfolds, leading to the protagonist’s cry: “Even our bread is massacred, murdered before it’s leavened.” This is a compelling story of death and survival, of bread and roses, in a world in which humanity is at a brink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seraj Assi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54164796539198,"sku":"9781945335754","price":455.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781945335754.jpg?v=1787320861","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781945335754","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
