Fifteen-years-old, pregnant, and recently abandoned by her cloth-merchant husband, Flora longs desperately for the return of her unborn baby's father. Nazie consoles and pities her, and though she is still only a child of eleven, she yearns - just as desperately - for her own future marriage. Although the narrative spans only two days, it branches out and back, encompassing the lives and histories of many of Omerijan's inhabitants. A blend of fantasy and reality, the narrative forcefully conveys shocking cruelties endured by many of the characters while at the same time weaving a modern-day Arabic legend where snakes offer jewels in exchange for milk and death is thwarted by appeasing the village demons.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"George Braziller Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Persian Brides | Yael Lotan | Hardcover | 9780807614303 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790230","offer_id":68005324554392,"sku":"1790230","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41HEMKEFZPL.jpg?v=1794705090","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/persian-brides","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
