An old shoe factory in a costal New England town is up for sale again.
When a private equity mogul with a fondness for the factory's shoes buys it, he sets in motion a story with profound implications for the way we live today.
The people of Bealport depend on Norumbega.
Their livelihoods, their self-respect and their interconnectedness are all at stake.
The shadow of the factory's fate looms over the people of the town.
Idiosyncratic and humane, the cast is the kind that small communities under threat produce.
Bealport is a portrait of a place, at once sympathetic, mordant, unsparing, comic, tragic and universal, and of a way of life that is passing.
It is a novel of a town, and to no small degree of every town in America and beyond.
