The Weight of Ghosts is a lyrical reclaiming and an insistence by the author that she own the rights to her story, which is American flavored with an unreleasing elsewhere. The Weight of Ghostss is an immigrantstory and a love story. While it is raw and honest and tragic, it is also a hopeful, funny, and original telling that demonstrates the strength of the human spirit, while offering a vocabulary for these most unmanageable human experiences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Halaby, Laila. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $v Biography. $9 81696 650 0 $a Mothers $z United States $v Biography. $9 83986 650 0 $a Women immigrants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Parental grief $z United States. 650 0 $a Mothers and sons $z United States. $9 87491 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Halaby, Laila. $t Weight of ghosts $d Pasadena, CA : Red Hen Press, 2023 $z 9781636281353 $w (DLC) 2023020793 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231010010731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E2E5268673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
