The book is housed in an equally smart, unclipped, dust jacket. ait is bright and smart with no marks or damage to speak of.
Overall, this is a particularly lovely example of this novel, by the author of 'Burnt Shadows' and 'Home Fire'. It was shortlisted for the Bailey's Prize in 2014 and is a powerful story of friendship, injustice, love, and betrayal. It takes you across the globe, into the heart of empires fallen and conquered and reminds us that we all have our place in the chaos of history, with so much that is lost never forgotten. This beautiful book would be a perfect addition to any modern firsts collection.
