Item description from seller

The Householder by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is the author's acclaimed early novel, first published in 1960, offering a perceptive and often gently humorous portrait of middle-class life in post-independence India. The story follows the young schoolteacher Prem as he adjusts to the realities of arranged marriage, work and adult responsibility, capturing the tensions between tradition, modernity and personal expectation. One of Jhabvala's best-known early works, the novel was later adapted for film by Merchant Ivory, with whom she would go on to enjoy a celebrated long creative partnership. The Householder, by R. Prawer Jhabvala. Published by John Murray, London. 1960 first edition. A good light blue cloth hardback with printed title to spine.

Text is bright and clean and soundly bound. The first free blank endpaper carries a tipped on arch shape image of the Taj Mahal - added by the book's owner.
