{"product_id":"we-need-new-names-a-novel","title":"We Need New Names: A Novel","description":"This unflinching and powerful novel tells the \"deeply felt and fiercely written\" story of a young girl's journey out of Zimbabwe to America (New York Times Book Review).\n\nDarling is only ten years old, and yet she must navigate a fragile and violent world. In Zimbabwe, Darling and her friends steal guavas, try to get the baby out of young Chipo's belly, and grasp at memories of Before. Before their homes were destroyed by paramilitary policemen, before the school closed, before the fathers left for dangerous jobs abroad.\n\nBut Darling has a chance to escape: she has an aunt in America. She travels to this new land in search of America's famous abundance only to find that her options as an immigrant are perilously few. NoViolet Bulawayo's debut calls to mind the great storytellers of displacement and arrival who have come before her — from Junot Diaz to Zadie Smith to J.M. Coetzee — while she tells a vivid, raw story all her own.\n\n\"Original, witty, and devastating.\" —People\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316230847\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316230847.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bulawayo, NoViolet\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
