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.","brand":"Marie NDiaye","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47794298552532,"sku":"9780307741332","price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3ad9b6d9-4554-46db-9aed-79e5438bfe1a.jpg?v=1776186121","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780307741332","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
