{"product_id":"under-american-skies-9781735937892","title":"Under American Skies","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Italian writer and her travel-savvy family are on the move again. This time to Washington DC. Relocating to the United States feels like a dream come true, and should be easy. But will the US live up to their expectations? Through life's unexpected challenges and new, unpredictable experiences, the author finds new feet and gains precious insight into her life and her surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe experiences of the author and her family during their first two years in the USA are narrated in a witty, ironic style-and a brooding attitude. She ponders the meaning of leaving one's homeland, while dwelling on the daily hurdles and disappointments, but also the discoveries and opportunities that this entails. Her, and her family's, everyday life is set in the social, economic and political context of the United States in a precise time period (the midterm elections during Obama's second mandate, the killing of Bin Laden etc.). The resulting observations are however more general, universal, and come from the author's habit of not taking anything for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndreini's very personal style, characterized by a fresh, sensitive and imaginative language, results in a highly evocative text. An ever-changing reading, with a sustained rhythm, which captures the reader's attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-15146090\"\u003eFrancesca Andreini\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Academia Publishing\/ The Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735937892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735937894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO028000\"\u003eCultural, Ethnic \u0026amp; Regional | Indigenous\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Academia Publishing\/ The Spring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42659442327789,"sku":"9781735937892","price":29.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_bf55c828-e122-4c4d-8154-1ba9924250ae.jpg?v=1649339424","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/under-american-skies-9781735937892","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
