{"product_id":"riambel-9781911648499","title":"Riambel","description":"\u003cb\u003eFifteen-year-old Noemi has no choice but to leave school and work in the house of the wealthy De Grandbourg family.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Just across the road from the slums where she grew up, she encounters a world that is starkly different from her own ­- yet one which would have been all too familiar to her ancestors. Bewitched by a pair of green eyes and haunted by echoes, her life begins to mirror those of girls who have gone before her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Within Noemi's lament is also the herstory of Mauritius; the story of women who have resisted arrest, of teachers who care for their poorest pupils and encourage them to challenge traditional narratives, of a flawed Paradise undergoing slow but unstoppable change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eRiambel\u003c\/i\u003e, Priya Hein invites us to protest, to rail against longstanding structures of class and ethnicity. She shows us a world of natural enchantment contrasted with violence and the abuse of power. This seemingly simple tale of servitude, seduction and abandonment blisters with a fierce sense of injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indigo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911648499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Priya Hein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824611659957,"sku":"9781911648499","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_36f5d134-71f0-4df3-857b-4f09cc2712c4.jpg?v=1680621790","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/riambel-9781911648499","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
