In The Book of Words, Jenny Erpenbeck captures with amazing virtuosity the inner life of a young girl who survives the totalitarian regime of a curiously unnamed South American country (most likely Argentina during its \"dirty war\"). Raised by parents whose real identity ends up shocking her, the girl comes of age in a country where gunshots are mistaken for blown tires, innocent citizens are dragged off buses, and tortured and disappeared friends and family return to visit her from the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974535020832,"sku":"NEW081121706X","price":17.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-book-of-words-new-directions-paperbook-081121706x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
