{"product_id":"soucouyant-9781551522265","title":"Soucouyant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \"soucoyant\" is an evil spirit in Caribbean lore, a reminder of past transgressions that refuse to diminish with age. In this beautifully told novel that crosses borders, cultures, and generations, a young man returns home to care for his aging mother, who suffers from dementia. In his efforts to help her and by turn make amends for their past estrangement from one another, he is compelled to re-imagine his mother's stories for her before they slip completely into darkness. In delicate, heartbreaking tones, the names for everyday things fade while at the same time a beautiful, haunted life, stained by grief, is slowly revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551522265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.89h x 5.76w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Governor General's Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2007 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Chariandy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659521028252,"sku":"9781551522265","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8a56ef3c-e6ce-4cde-ba9d-d02a315e81fc.jpg?v=1603894998","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/soucouyant-9781551522265","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
