As these three lives intertwine, each woman manages an astonishing feat of self-preservation against those who have made themselves the fastest-growing and most-reviled people in Europe. In Marie NDiaye's stunning narration we see the progress by which ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307741332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.21w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/30\/2013 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marie Ndiaye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43896684839093,"sku":"9780307741332","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c03f0ddc-37eb-4551-a3eb-53d45e781bf8.jpg?v=1712631590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/three-strong-women-9780307741332","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
