It's a wilderness, with good bars in little towns far out in the long quiet valleys.  In one of those bars, in the town of Eureka, in the middle of a spring day when the light runs sweet seven people meet: Cookie, a cowgirl and fry-cook; Chiara, a professor on the run; her sixteen-year-old saucy daughter Izzy; the painter, Renato.  There is also Juha, a contractor strong as a horse, but blushingly shy; Muscovado, a Jamaican journalist; and Ananda, a securities attorney - blond, logical, delicious.\u003cbr\u003eThey meet as is inevitable.  And so tasty is the whisky, so compelling the twilight, they band together for a journey to the legendary Lost Coast of northern California.  Like all such trips, it is not just a moving through the gift-giving wilderness, not just a series of visits to remote settlements; it is also a journey of the soul.  Delightful and entertaining, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Coast\u003c\/i\u003e is a sexy and highly literate novel that has attracted critical acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144219345136,"sku":"9781466813588","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466813588_p0.jpg?v=1769891030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466813588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
