{"product_id":"the-delivery-room-9781582434247","title":"The Delivery Room","description":"It is 1998. In the safe haven of her London office--a room her husband jokingly calls \"The Delivery Room\"--therapist Mira Braverman listens to the stories of her troubled patients, including an aristocratic woman going through an intense infertility drama, an American journalist who is eager to have a baby, and an irritable divorcé who likes to taunt Mira about her Serbian nationality. As the novel unfolds, Mira discovers she is not as distant from her patients' pain as she might once have been: her husband Peter struggles with illness, NATO's threats against her country grow more serious, and submerged truths from her own past seem likely to erupt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompelling, complex, and always deeply human, \u003ci\u003eThe Delivery Room\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging examination of the incomplete understandings that course between therapist and patient, and a set of variations on the theme of motherhood--as well as a timely meditation on the meanings of wars fought from a distance, when ordinary citizens have to measure their personal griefs against the outrages experienced by those under attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582434247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.68h x 5.06w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2008 pg. 968\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/22\/2008 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/16\/2008 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/23\/2008 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sylvia Brownrigg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44112764534965,"sku":"9781582434247","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_29670628-8ca2-4005-a72a-2645db4d69e2.jpg?v=1715053649","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-delivery-room-9781582434247","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
