{"product_id":"before-the-rain","title":"Before the Rain","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this collection of poems and short stories, Christine Craig brings the rhythms of Jamaica to the page - its beauty and complexity, its light and its shadows. Her voice, shaped by a lifetime lived on the island - from childhood wonder to adult reckoning - captures the richness of language forged by layered histories and a heritage of many strands. These pieces look closely at place and people, finding echoes that reach far beyond Jamaica’s shores. Clear-eyed about the terrors and smallnesses that scar human lives, yet always tuned to the possibility of joy, Craig’s work is both an act of witness and a celebration - of language, of resilience, of the urge to raise a voice and sing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peepal Tree Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55515824324993,"sku":"9781845236090","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7369\/files\/9781845236090.jpg?v=1775828362","url":"https:\/\/inpressbooks.co.uk\/products\/before-the-rain","provider":"Inpress Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
