Fabrics tear, lands splinter, stances harden, loved ones die, names dissolve. Yet, wandering through these pages are some extraordinary women—women who vault nimbly over borders, walk naked, walk aslant, and sometimes upside down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeaping from the past into a global present, these exuberant voices offer tips on how to retain one's spine through life's giddiest rollercoaster rides. Blurring the divide between the mundane and the magical, the historical and the imaginary, they point to a new world that might lie within the folds of the old. A world that requires a new set of skills: how to find the right nicknames, how to 'gatecrash into the present', how to 'go skinny-dipping in the self'. These are songs of bewilderment, insight and startling freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464323350764,"sku":"9781780377438","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781780377438-the-gallery-of-upside-down-women.jpg?v=1775047528"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/arundhathi-subramaniam.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
