{"product_id":"2940163447404","title":"Big Ole Home By De Sea","description":"\u003cp\u003eAround the home, the wind and the birds whistle. Sunbeams, filtered by trees, limbo across the lacquered wooden floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome nights, danger lurks. Bandits. Gunshots in the wee hours of the morning. A thief sneaks into a neighbour’s home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the fears, mother and daughter create a haven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mother is wise, kind to one and all. Yet she shoots words so sharp, she quells the petty thief and his foul-mouthed girlfriend into submission. The daughter wallows in self-deprecation. The two engage in power struggles over pepper-sauce, wild flowers, the killing of a fly and other such drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the keen observations of these two, and their interaction with others, the culture of the well-to-do and poor is revealed. Nature takes on a personality of its own, is discussed like beloved (and some mad) relatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book, a collection of conversations, stories, quips and musings, highlights hope, grief, beauty and humour in a 3rd world setting. It is, in essence, an irrepressible celebration of home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neena Maiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46540273123569,"sku":"2940163447404","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/2940163447404_p0.jpg?v=1765530268","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940163447404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
