About This Item
The Reprint Society, London, 1959. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. The faded elegance of Les Oeillets, with its bullet-scarred staircase and serene garden bounded by high walls; Eliot, the charming Englishman who became the childrens guardian while their mother lay ill in hospital; sophisticated Mademoiselle Zizi, hotel patronne, and Eliots devoted lover; 16 year old Joss, the oldest Grey girl, suddenly, achingly beautiful. And the Marne river flowing silent and slow beyond them all . . . They would merge together in a gold-green summer of discovery, until the fruit rotted on the trees and cold seeped into their bones . . . The Greengage Summer is Rumer Goddens tense, evocative portrait of love and deceit in the Champagne country of the Marne which became a memorable film starring Kenneth More and Susannah York. 222 pages. Dust jacket has rubbing and small closed tears to edges. Previous owners name on front endpaper. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; Fiction; Inventory No: 265299..
