{"product_id":"quiet-street-9780803287709","title":"Quiet Street","description":"\u003ci\u003eQuiet Street\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of Edith and Jacob Hirsch and their two children, Dinah and Teddy, who live in a suburb of Jerusalem among neighbors they have known for many years. Edith's protected life comes to an end when she must face the bitter fact that her beautiful daughter at eighteen is more a soldier than a farmer and that the kibbutz where Dinah now lives is a military fortress, despite its newly planted orchards. \u003cp\u003eThe heroic sacrifices, the well-meaning mistakes, and the suspicions of a people living through the grueling 1948 siege of Jerusalem weave together into a dramatic portrayal of ordinary people in times of deep unrest. Originally published in 1951, \u003ci\u003eQuiet Street\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the first American novels published about the Israeli war for independence. Told from the mother's perspective, \u003ci\u003eQuiet Street\u003c\/i\u003e shows the devotion and wrenching cost required to make an ancient dream of a new state into a modern reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803287709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.62h x 5.68w x 0.80d","brand":"Zelda Popkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38470530400437,"sku":"9780803287709","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5877a93a-1bb4-4c33-b6a2-d2cf19382688.jpg?v=1612925855","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/quiet-street-9780803287709","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
