An old shoe factory in a coastal New England town is up for sale again.
When it’s bought by a venture capitalist with a fondness for the factory’s shoes, a story with profound implications is set in motion.
NORUMBEGA (Makers of Fine Footwear Since 1903) is a hobby for Roger Keysinger. For the residents of Bealport – whose livelihoods, self-respect, and interconnectedness hinge on its survival – it is something infinitely greater.
Unsparing, comic, tragic, and universal, Bealport is a portrait of a town, of towns like it across America and beyond, and of a way of life that is passing.
