New York: Ticknor & Fields, 1987. Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Brick-red boards quarterbound in ivory cloth. The spine is gilt-stamped. Blue endpapers. 262pps. A beautiful copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. In unread condition. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing and wear to the tips and the spine-ends -- otherwise excellent. The original price of $17.95 is intact on the front flap. "Fifty-three years! No woman has the right to die on her husband of fifty-three years; it's not natural. But that's exactly what has happened. In a fit of rage after the funeral the old man hurls a chair -- perhaps fatally -- at the couple's severely backward son. He rushes blindly into the woods, only to join unlikely forces with another of life's rejects: a fifteen-year-old runaway who, in all of her hip self-interest, holds a fun-house mirror to the ancient's stern gaze..." This is the author's first novel. Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Money back guarantee.
