Top back edge and head and tail of spine very slightly creased. No fading. No tears. Front panel, back panel and spine of dustwrapper bright. ***232 pages. 242mm x 164mm. ***'The comforts and terrors of middle-class provincial life have seldom been more sharply dissected than by Stanley Middleton, and his new novel adds to this social insight a new poignancy. As ageing slowly entwines John Stone, retired headmaster at Beechnall, his wife Peg and their various friends and relatives, and as past certainties recede, the solid, decent world of provincial life with its satisfactions and occasional minor adulteries gives way to new threats - some external in the changing society around them, some internal. The question of how to live the good life, always near the centre of Middleton's novels, confronts the inhabitants of this quiet street of Victorian villas and is answered in surprising and disturbing ways'. ***(Quote from inside front jacket blurb). ***'Stanley Middleton, once dubbed "The Chekhov of Suburbia", is to the Midlands suburb what Anne Tyler is to the midwest picket fence. His gentle, careful writing creates an always precise and often unnerving picture of reality - The Times [review quote from inside of jacket blurb]. ***'He illuminates the important matters beneath the surface that ordinary people feel but rarely talk about.' Philip Howard [review quote from back of jacket blurb). ***The first impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in very fine bright collectable condition, from the Booker Prize-winner of 'Holiday'. Hard to find in first edition (most first edition copies having gone to libraries). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
