{"product_id":"9781911115694","title":"Men Don't Cry by Faiza Guene","description":"\u003cp\u003eMourad and his family live in Nice. His retired father spends his days fixing up things in the backyard; his mother, bemoaning the loss of her natal village in North Africa. Dounia, the eldest, is a staunch feminist; Mina, the youngest, blushes when the scented shower gel ad comes on. Mourad is strangely torn between a desire for freedom and the fear of his worst nightmare: that of becoming an overweight bachelor with salt and pepper hair. On her eighteenth birthday, Dounia leaves home for good. She is no longer part of the family. Ten years later, Mourad's father has a stroke and makes his son promise to patch things up with his estranged sister, now a lawyer with an aspiring career in politics. Appointed to the Parisian suburbs as a teacher-in-training, Mourad tracks down Dounia and battles to span the gulf separating her and the rest of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Faiza Guene\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProse: non-fiction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 24 August 2021 by Cassava Republic Press in the United Kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 216 pages, No\u003cbr\u003e138 x 214 x 21 | 288g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperback \/ softback","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628784664952,"sku":"9781911115694","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/6671\/7600\/files\/9781911115694.jpg?v=1786445220","url":"https:\/\/afroribooks.co.uk\/products\/9781911115694","provider":"Afrori Books LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
