Description

1st US edition. Godden returns to an Indian setting for this novel of ex-pat life in Kashmir. Minor spotting to block edge but this rarely intrudes onto pages which are in VG, clean and bright order throughout. Former owner's neat signature to fep. Smart pale green boards, darkened to edges and lightly sunned to spine, with crisp blue decoration and titling. VG- clipped d/j showing wear to edges (esp along spine) and a little spotting to rear. Now in removable protective sleeve. 8vo. 283pp
