About This Item
New York: Alfred a Knopf Inc, 1996. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. A fine copy in a near fine unclipped dustjacket--that shows a tiny bit of rubbing to the back panel only. This copy is signed by the author on the front free endpaper--signature only. No evidence of previous ownership. A beautiful copy. Updike is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.
Synopsis
Taking its title from the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", IN THE BEAUTY OF THE LILIES traces one family's profound journey through four generations—and across the spiritual landscape of twentieth-century America. It is one of John Updike's fullest and finest work of fiction.
Reviews
On Mar 2 2009, Mikelomar said:
Great book. Classic Updike: lush prose, piercing observations of both the physical world and the human psyche, great sex, and terribly interesting examinations of various religious impulses. A booklover's book!
