Journalists visit her, but get nowhere; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist, and a whore; some might call her a revolutionary, or a hero. But the truth is, Nahr has always been many things, and had many names.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She was a girl who learned, early and painfully, that when you are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation; she learned, above all else, to survive.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She was a girl who went to Palestine in the wrong shoes, and without looking for it found what she had always lacked in the basement of a battered beauty parlour: purpose, politics, friends. She found a dark-eyed man called Bilal, who taught her to resist; who tried to save her when it was already too late.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nahr sits in the Cube, and tells her story to Bilal. Bilal, who isn't there; Bilal, who may not even be alive, but who is her only reason to get out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Against the Loveless World","offer_id":50632904147141,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-5266-1881-8.jpg?v=1791306573","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/against-the-loveless-world-1","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
