About This Item
Chatto and Windus, 1993. Hardcover. Near Fine. Full number line present in this first edition. The book is square and very tight and the boards clean and bright. No marks, foxing, tears or damage. No inscriptions or writing or underlining. The DJ is not price clipped and is clean and without marks or tears except for a 5cm scratch which is difficult to see. A super copy.
Synopsis
Full of suspense, humor, and symbolism, this magnificently crafted and magical novel replays biblical and medieval themes in contemporary London. An attempt by the sharp, feral, and uncommonly intelligent Lucas Graffe to murder his sensual and charismatic half-brother Clement is interrupted by a stranger—whom Lucas strikes and leaves for dead. When the stranger mysteriously reappears, with specific demands for reparation, the Graffes’ circle of idiosyncratic family and friends is disrupted—for the demands are bizarre, intrusive, and ultimately fatal.

About Boneshaker Books
I'm an English teacher by day and a book hoarder by night, weekend and occasional holiday. I sell to provide more shelf space and some money to buy more books. Drawn to various genres - mainly 20th and 21st century first editions. Protecting the book for postage is very important to me; I use recycled packaging where possible, but always ensuring the book can cope with any possible boneshaking along the way.
