{"product_id":"ada-s-room-9780593539798b","title":"Ada's Room","description":"\u003cb\u003eA kaleidoscopic novel spanning generations and continents, that reveals the connections between four women in their struggle for survival.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA woman in 15th century West Africa named Ada buries her child and confronts a Portuguese enslaver. A woman in Victorian England named Ada Lovelace, a mathematical genius and computer programming pioneer, tries to hide her affair with Charles Dickens from her husband. A woman named Ada, imprisoned in a concentration camp at Mittelbau-Dora in 1945, will survive one more day in enforced prostitution. Connected by an unknown but sentient spirit, and a bracelet of fertility beads that each Ada encounters at a pivotal moment in her life, these women share a name and a purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs their interwoven narratives converge on a modern day Ada, a young Ghanaian woman who finds herself pregnant, alone, in Berlin, searching for a home before her baby arrives, their shared spirit will find a way to help her break the vicious cycle of injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis novel is a feat of imagination and breaks down simplistic notions of history as a straight line; one woman’s experience matters to another’s 400 years later, on a different continent. In this deeply moving, at times mordantly funny, ultimately hopeful book, there is a connection between all those fighting for love, for family, for justice, for a home.","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42870455763024,"sku":"9780593539798B","price":12.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780593539798-l.jpg?v=1785891449","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/ada-s-room-9780593539798b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
