A beautiful First Edition signed by the author at a London bookstore on the title page. In dark green boards, the book is in fine unread condition. The fine dust jacket is complete and in protective plastic cover. By the author of "Waterland," "Out of this World," "Ever After," and "Last Orders," which won the 1996 Booker Prize.
The author's seventh novel that Kirkus Reviews describes as "a moody lament for a vanished past, present, and future that subtly grates on the nerves and lingers uncomfortably in memory."
In a 2003 interview with Robert Birnbaum, Swift described himself as a writer who begins with the ordinary world—the world around the corner, the familiar. “If there is going to be anything extraordinary, I will find it in that,” he said.
Readers of Kazuo Ishiguro and Gillian Flynn would enjoy this title.
