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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marie NDiaye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" H x 5.21\" L x 0.69\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780307741332\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53765003346219,"sku":"9780307741332","price":21.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9780307741332.jpg?v=1781540126","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/three-strong-women-marie-ndiaye-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
