{"product_id":"broken-wing-9781582706870","title":"Broken Wing","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the remote mountains of northern USA, BROKEN WING is an allegorical tale about a rusty blackbird with a broken wing who can''t fly and, therefore, is trapped in the inhospitable north country for the winter and a man, known only as The Man Who Lives Alone in the Mountains, who lives a solitary life of nurturing attentiveness, simple kindness and passionate emotional intensity. BROKEN WING is the story of how these two different lives come together. A story of loneliness, survival, tenacity and will, BROKEN WING is, also, about music and race and what it is like to be a minority in a strange place. A story of the natural world and the wonder of birds'' lives and of one man''s deep connection to them, BROKEN WING becomes a song of praise for the cycle of the seasons and a meditation on the reality of dreams and the dreamlike quality of reality. It is, also, the story of one individual black man told from outside the usual stereotypes about African-American males, which is a perspective seldom seen in American literature. Told with simple, dignified prose, BROKEN WING takes on the timeless, mythic aura of a folktale.","brand":"Beyond Words Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49532640887127,"sku":"9781582706870","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781582706870.jpg?v=1731887896","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/broken-wing-9781582706870","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
