{"product_id":"the-liberated-bride","title":"The Liberated Bride","description":"Used paperback in Very Good condition. Yochanan Rivlin, a professor at Haifa University, is a man of boundless and often naïve curiosity. His wife, Hagit, a district judge, is tolerant of almost everything but her husband's faults and prevarications. Frequent arguments aside, they are a well-adjusted couple with two grown sons.\u003cbr\u003e When one of Rivlin's students-a young Arab bride from a village in the Galilee-is assigned to help with his research in recent Algerian history, a two-pronged mystery develops. As they probe the causes of the bloody Algerian civil war, Rivlin also becomes obsessed with his son's failed marriage.\u003cbr\u003e Rivlin's search leads to a number of improbable escapades. In this comedy of manners, at once deeply serious and highly entertaining, Yehoshua brilliantly portrays characters from disparate sectors of Israeli life, united above all by a very human desire for, and fear of, the truth in politics and life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yehoshua, A.B.","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":53876285112603,"sku":"mon0000664108","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/4004\/3291\/files\/14674713482243.jpg?v=1788533447","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.com\/products\/the-liberated-bride","provider":"Book Alley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
