Moderate Creasing on Front Cover, Spine; Light Creasing on Rear Cover; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. "You could see the Crystal Palace if it wasn't for the houses in between" - Old Music Hall Song. EXCERPT: "What is all this about a book?" I asked. "It's not finished yet," she said, "because I'm not dead yet . . . I want you to put it in order" . . . Remarkably little needed to be done with it. Here and there I have left things out; here and there a phrase has been sharpened. But this is Sarah's book, not mine: Sarah Undridge, who grew up as Sarah Rainborough . . . REVIEWS: "Wonderfully skilful in conveying the atmosphere of life in a prosperous middle-class Victorian Family through a child's freshness and sense of wonder. The Houses in Between is emphatically a book to be read." - Manchester Evening News.…

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
