Add to basket10 + 486 pages, novel based on the imaginary island of Karak in the South China Sea, which has British influence. A tale of tension and passion, and subterfuge against the background of insular development. Waugh's novelist's eye in sync with his knowledge of how islands and communities work. Wonderful. SIGNED by Waugh as part of a gift dedication on front free end paper which reads: "Dear Lady Douglas, I did so enjoy our meeting - a bientot, I hope, Alec Waugh / May 5, 1960". This is a very good condition copy of the 1st UK edition. Book slightly bumped around spine, some marks on top of text block and some spotting marks on outside and lower edges; tiny damage to lower edge of cover at front; generally, though, clean and tidy. Jacket torn around spine with some loss; worn and nicked at corners; bumped along lower edge; creased along top edge; foxed internally.
