In stories as darkly comic as they are unflinching, people isolated by geography, emotion, or circumstance cut imperfect paths to peace--they have no other choice. A Russian mail-order bride in Finland is rendered silent by her dislocation and loss of language, the mother of a severely disabled boy writes him postcards he'll never read on a cruise ship held hostage by pirates, and an Iowa actuary wanders among the reincarnations of those she's known in her 127 lives. Horrocks' women find no simple escapes, and their acts of faith and acts of imagination in making do are as shrewd as they are surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932511918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2011 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2011 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/24\/2011 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2011 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/02\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/31\/2011 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Caitlin Horrocks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38349921812661,"sku":"9781932511918","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_943b2ab3-68c2-4277-9e32-7d0bb57a83c4.jpg?v=1611642803","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/this-is-not-your-city-9781932511918","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
