{"product_id":"typhoon","title":"Typhoon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Gripping, hugely involving, and very satisfying\" KATE MOSSE \"A dramatic story of family intrigue, religious passions and riproaring romance\" MICHELE ROBERTS  Typhoon is set in Chiragpur, a Pakistani village warped in time, space and guilt, whose inhabitants are still traumatised by what happened some twenty years earlier in a courtroom (kacheri). With the arrival of a beautiful stranger from the city, the villagers are helplessly swept along by a typhoon-like series of events and become buried under the burden of their guilt.  Closely guarding their small silk parcels containing a lock of a woman's hair, they all hope to return it to its rightful owner and beg her forgiveness. Typhoon is a tragic tale of three young women, each one demonised by their past: Naghmana - the glamorous stranger from the city; Chaudharani Kaniz - the village land baron, and Gulshan - the innocent wife.  One is caught in the arms of another woman's husband in the middle of the night; another was raped in her youth; and the third woman's world fell apart as she lost her husband, before her eyes, to a total stranger and her mother vowed revenge. For all three there is no escape from what fate has in store.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shahraz, Qaisra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41225822699564,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/9253\/5852\/products\/DB233EFE-BAA3-4449-9A93-2F8CD3C3FAFC.jpg?v=1683884204","url":"https:\/\/www.georgestreetcommunitybookshop.co.uk\/products\/typhoon","provider":"George Street Community Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
