{"product_id":"the-coast-road","title":"The Coast Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eA poignant debut novel about the lives of women in a claustrophobic coast town and the search for independence in a society that seeks to limit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet in 1994, The Coast Road tells the story of two women--Izzy Keaveney, a housewife, and Colette Crowley, a poet. Colette has left her husband and sons for a married man in Dublin. When she returns to her home in County Donegal to try to pick up the pieces of her old life, her husband, Shaun, a successful businessman, denies her access to her children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only way she can see them is with the help of neighbour Izzy, acting as a go-between. Izzy also feels caught in a troubled marriage. The friendship that develops between them will ultimately lead to tragedy for one, and freedom for the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddictive as Big Little Lies with a depth and compassion that rivals the works of Claire Keegan, Elizabeth Strout, and Colm Tóibín, The Coast Road is a story about the limits placed on women's lives in Ireland only a generation ago, and the consequences women have suffered trying to gain independence. Award-winning Irish author Alan Murrin reminds us of the price we are forced to pay to find freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Murrin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46981725225129,"sku":"9781526663696","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781526663696.jpg?v=1775879702","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-coast-road","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
