The regime is corrupt and harsh, the expatriates are hard-drinking money-grubbers, and her Muslim neighbours are secretive, watchful. The streets are not a woman's territory; confined in her flat, she finds her sense of self begin to dissolve. She hears whispers, sounds of distress from the 'empty' flat above her head. She has only rumours, no facts to hang on to, and no one with whom to share her creeping unease. As her days empty of certainty and purpose, her life becomes a blank - waiting to be filled by violence and disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104699416620,"sku":"9780007172917","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780007172917.jpg?v=1713012172","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/eight-months-on-ghazzah-street","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
