Yet as Jess and his wife Alma begin their life together in a nameless Pacific Northwest town, they unhesitatingly descend, with defiant passivity, into every major and minor pitfall that family life and bleak social conformity can offer--from adultery and petty shoplifting to being pressured by neighbors to dig a backbreaking hole for a \"Heritage Pole\" of dubious historical value. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn eighteen disconnected and unsettling stories about a disintegrating marriage and its effect on the next generation, newcomer T. R. Healy has assembled a complicated mosaic of rigid institutional norms juxtaposed against disconcertingly casual sexual and moral transgressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52721924047155,"sku":"9780997574241","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/yWRya8QAic9780997574241.webp?v=1763639734","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-time-of-times-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
