{"product_id":"2940170817603","title":"Mink River","description":"In a small fictional town on the Oregon coast there are love affairs and almost-love-affairs, mystery and hilarity, bears and tears, brawls and boats, a garrulous logger and a silent doctor, rain and pain, Irish immigrants and Salish stories, mud and laughter. There's a Department of Public Works that gives haircuts and counts insects, a policeman who is addicted to Puccini, a philosophizing crow, beer, and berries. An expedition is mounted, a crime is committed, and there's an unbelievably huge picnic on the football field. Babies are born. A car is cut in half with a saw. A river confesses what it's thinking . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the tale of a town, written in a distinct and lyrical voice, and when the book ends, listeners will be more than a little sad to leave the village of Neawanaka, on the wet coast of Oregon, beneath the hills that used to boast the biggest trees in the history of the world.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123264176368,"sku":"2940170817603","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170817603_p0.jpg?v=1763718473","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170817603","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
