{"product_id":"9781907991004","title":"Call Of The Litany Bird : Surviving the Zimbabwe Bush War by Susan Gibbs","description":"As a trained nurse, newly married to the son of the Governor of Rhodesia during the UDI years, Susan writes compellingly about bringing up a family on their farm in Matabeleland in the midst of the unfolding terror and growing number of atrocities.  Above all it is a human story. Sometimes shocking and always moving, there is also warmth and humour as Susan creates a gripping picture of the conflict and tells of her family's survival when many of her friends and neighbouring farmers didn't.  The book is a testament to the courage displayed by so many people who were tested day after day by almost unimaginable horrors.  The Litany Bird is the popular name of the Nightjar, a largely nocturnal bird found throughout southern Africa. Its haunting call sounds like 'Good Lord, Deliver Us.'\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308941816181,"sku":"9781907991004","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781907991004.jpg?v=1762809797","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781907991004","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
