The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. First edition. The scarce second novel by Edward Sackville West, and described by himself as a 'gothic tale' which follows an aristocratic family living in a large, rambling house in Kent. There, four siblings with a smorgasbord of complex and tortured relationships are parented by an absent mother and a reclusive father, the latter who locks himself in a wing of the house and plays piano music for hours of the day. A series of emotive events occur when two visitors arrive - Marcus, a friend from Oxford, and Antonia, who sets off somewhat of a love triangle between Nigel and his sister Ariadne. The book was purportedly held from publication due to its characters bearing too true a resemblance to real life individuals. While the basis for the setting is likely Knole, the home to the Sackville-Wests for over four hundred years, Marcus is claimed to be Jack McDougal, an undergraduate at New College and later Evelyn Waugh's publisher at Chapman and Hall, with whom Sackville-West had had an affair. Denzil is likely based on the author himself, the youngest and most vulnerable of the siblings. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
