{"product_id":"9781934031049","title":"Contentment Cove","description":"\u003cp\u003eMiriam Colwell's Contentment Cove-her fourth novel set in Maine and her first in more than five decades-is a riveting story of class distinctions in a 1950s Down East coastal village during a time of cultural change. Dot-Fran, Hilary, and Mina are three residents of a Maine coastal village in the 1950s. Dot-Fran, the youngest, is a native; she runs the town's drug store. Hilary, middle-aged, is a worldly artist. The wealthy Mina and her husband retired to the town after being enchanted with its charm during a one-night visit. Their disparate lives become entwined and eventually clash tragically. The story, which features recognizable Maine characters and those from away, takes place over only a matter of days one summer. While Maine-native Colwell infuses Contentment Cove with humor, it is a novel that deals with serious issues that remain relevant today, none more compelling than the erosion of one way of Maine life and the evolution of another.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Islandport Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044080795888,"sku":"9781934031049","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934031049_p0.jpg?v=1763641792","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934031049","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
