What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

First edition.

Bound in the publisher's original cloth, with the original, unclipped scarce dust wrapper.

Uncommon work.

Written by Irish novelist and playwright, Kate O'Brien.

This charming novel tells the story of two penniless young Irish girls, sent to Paris and Italy to become opera singers. With rigorous training, romances, wonderful music and friendship, this setting brings about a powerful change for the young women.

Condition

Bound in the publisher's original cloth, with the original, unclipped scarce dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with light bumping to the extremities and the occasional mark. Ink inscription to the front endpaper. Dust wrapper is generally smart, with light chipping and the odd tear. Sunning to the wrap, heavier to the spine, with light tide marks to the reverse of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean.

Very Good Indeed
