{"product_id":"the-sisters-from-hardscrabble-bay-isbn-9780143119296","title":"The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay","description":"Published posthumously through the efforts of Beverly Jensen's many  supporters, this widely acclaimed novel-in-stories offers a richly  textured portrait of a bygone era. In 1916, Idella and Avis Hillock  live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick-a barren world of  potato farms and lobster traps, rough men, hard work, and baffling  beauty. From \"Gone,\" the heartbreaking account of the crisis that  changed their lives forever, through \"Wake,\" a darkly comic saga of  funeral plans gone awry, \u003ci\u003eThe Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay\u003c\/i\u003e  beautifully charts the trajectory of the Hillocks' divergent lives  against the background of a lost slice of Americana.Beverly Jensen earned an MFA in drama from Southern Methodist University. After her death in 2003, her story “Wake” was published in the \u003ci\u003eNew England Review\u003c\/i\u003e, included in \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Short Stories 2007\u003c\/i\u003e, and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She is survived by her husband, Jay Silverman, and their two children.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300257943781,"sku":"NP9780143119296","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780143119296.jpg?v=1767741534","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-sisters-from-hardscrabble-bay-isbn-9780143119296","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
