About This Item
London: Macmillan, 1959. Signed first edition. Hardcover, 266 pp. Green cloth binding shows moderate toning on edges and some bumping to the corners. Slight lean, but binding is strong, and overall in good condition. Dust jacket shows a few 2mm tears at top and bottom of spine. Moderate soiling to back cover. Some pen marks on the cover, mostly unnoticible. Inscribed to the writer-couple June and Neville Braybrooke at free leaf end paper: " June + Neville, Love from Muriel". A lovely association. An omniscient narrator follows a circle of elderly posh Britons and their tangled relationships and secret histories. Everyone dies, obvs. Dark and comic.
