{"product_id":"alleyways-1","title":"Alleyways","description":"The first full-length Hebrew novel written by a woman in Eretz Israel, available for the first time in English.   This remarkable novel, the first modern Hebrew novel by a woman who was moreover not Jewish and never converted. It is set in the bohemian Moscow of 1922-1923 during Lenin’s NEP (New Economic Policy), a short-lived period of freedom before Stalin’s mass collectivization. It describes the lives and loves of a group of Jewish and non-Jewish men and women in the poor, threadbare, bohemian Moscow of the immediate post-revolutionary period. There is great poverty, accommodation is scarce and cramped, and the same clothes are worn for weeks. But the characters aspire to life, love, poetry, literature, and music.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57513513025909,"sku":"9798897835188","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/alleyways-1","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
