{"product_id":"9780743203241","title":"Miriam's Song","description":"By: Mark Mathabane     \u003chr\u003eMark Mathabane first came to prominence with the publication of \u003ci\u003eKaffir Boy,\u003c\/i\u003e which became a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller. His story of growing up in South Africa was one of the most riveting accounts of life under apartheid. Mathabane's newest book, \u003ci\u003eMiriam's Song,\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of Mark's sister, who was left behind in South Africa. It is the gripping tale of a woman -- representative of an entire generation -- who came of age amid the violence and rebellion of the 1980s and finally saw the destruction of apartheid and the birth of a new, democratic South Africa. \u003cbr\u003e Mathabane writes in Miriam's voice based on stories she told him, but he has re-created her unforgettable experience as only someone who also lived through it could. The immediacy of the hardships that brother and sister endured -- from daily school beatings to overwhelming poverty -- is balanced by the beauty of their childhood observations and the true affection that they have for each other.","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46747379990755,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743203241","price":144.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_9ee9c674-e6bd-4396-bdf1-c9a5bd9722d1.jpg?v=1762139857","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9780743203241","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
