Sobre este artículo
London: Faber and Faber. 1963. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding clean and square, the contents entirely complete, without inscriptions or stamps with some spotting to the text block edge. Complete with the better than very good lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper which has a short closed tear to the upper panel and is price-clipped to the front flap. An attractive example. The author's first novel and winner of the AE Memorial Award. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
Sinopsis
Elizabeth Reegan, after years of freedom and loneliness marries into the enclosed Irish village of her upbringing. The children are not her own; her husband is straining to break free from the servile security of the police force; and her own life, threatened by illness, seems to be losing the last vestiges of its purpose. Moving between tragedy and savage comedy, desperation and joy, John McGaherns first novel is one of haunting power.
