{"product_id":"the-best-place-on-earth","title":"The Best Place on Earth","description":"\u003cp\u003eConfident, original and humane, these stories \u003cbr\u003e\nare peopled with characters at the crossroads of nationalities, \u003cbr\u003e\nreligions and communities: expatriates, travellers, immigrants and \u003cbr\u003e\nlocals. The Best Place on Earth illuminates the tenuous connections \u003cbr\u003e\nforged, frayed and occasionally destroyed between cultures, between \u003cbr\u003e\ngenerations and across the gulf of transformation and loss.  In the \u003cbr\u003e\npowerfully affecting opening story, Tikkun, a chance meeting between a \u003cbr\u003e\nman and his former lover carries them through near tragedy and into \u003cbr\u003e\nunexpected peace. In Casualties, Tsabari takes us into the military a \u003cbr\u003e\nworld every Israeli knows all too well with a brusque, sexy young female\u003cbr\u003e\n soldier who forges medical leave forms to make ends meet.  Poets, \u003cbr\u003e\nsoldiers, siblings and dissenters, the protagonists here are mostly \u003cbr\u003e\nIsraelis of Mizrahi background (Jews of Middle Eastern and North African\u003cbr\u003e\n descent) whose stories have rarely been told in literature. In \u003cbr\u003e\nillustrating the lives of those whose identities swing from fiercely \u003cbr\u003e\npatriotic to powerfully global, Ayelet Tsabari explores Israeli history \u003cbr\u003e\neven as she reveals the universality of war, love, heartbreak and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayelet Tsabari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44243786694716,"sku":"9781443411967","price":447.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-best-place-on-earth-9781443411967.jpg?v=1776798731","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-best-place-on-earth","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
