Girl is a courageous book about a courageous spirit.' - J.M. Coetzee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaptured, abducted and married into Boko Haram, the narrator of this story witnesses and suffers the horrors of a community of men governed by a brutal code of violence. Barely more than a girl herself, she must soon learn how to survive as a woman with a child of her own. Just as the world around her seems entirely consumed by madness, bound for hell, she is offered an escape of sorts - but only into another landscape of trials and terrors amidst the unforgiving wilds of northeastern Nigeria, through the forest and beyond; a place where her traumas are met with the blinkered judgement of a society in denial. How do we love in a world that has lost its moorings? How can we comprehend the barbarism of our enemies, and learn forgiveness for atrocities committed in the name of ideology?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catnap Books","offers":[{"title":"Used","offer_id":53239324442890,"sku":"9780571341177","price":7.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4730\/2666\/files\/DE7D3CC2-7605-491F-A1FE-A2E3FEF6235A.jpg?v=1781963896","url":"https:\/\/catnapbooks.nl\/products\/girl","provider":"Catnap Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
