Coles Nice Girl With 5 Husbands: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Tom Dorset, an unhappy artist on a paid desert retreat, wanders into a valley where time behaves like weather and a recurring "time wind" can fling the unwary a century forward or back. Near a balancing rock, he is caught in that uncanny current and meets Lois Wolver, a serene, beautiful young woman whose calm intimacy immediately unsettles him. Their conversation turns flirtatious and satirical as Lois speaks with disarming ease about love, marriage, and family, revealing that she lives in a radically unconventional household. When Lois brings Tom home, he finds a bright, communal family unlike anything he can imagine: five husbands, co-wives, and a swarm of children sharing a life that is both domestic and deeply alien. As Tom struggles to make sense of this arrangement, he begins to suspect he has stumbled into a future society shaped by different values, technologies, and emotional structures. Playful, eerie, and socially provocative, the story contrasts modern assumptions with a world where time, marriage, and parenthood have all become wonderfully strange. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
