About This Item
This is a stated first edition (Canadian) of The Ground Beneath Her Feet, the sixth novel from British novelist Salman Rushdie, published in 1999.
It is a love story involving the music world and mythological figures.
The cover looks odd in the photos because it's reflective silver and takes on the colours around it. That blob at the top right is the remnants of a price tag.
There is minor shelfwear to both the jacket and the spine of the book.The inside is perfect.
Synopsis
The Ground Beneath Her Feet is a novel written by Salman Rushdie. Published in 2000, it is a variation on the Orpheus/Eurydice myth with rock music replacing Orpheus' lyre. The myth works as a red thread from which the author sometimes strays, but to which he attaches an endless series of references. The novel has also been turned into a major new performance work combining music and film that premiered at the inaugural Manchester International Festival in England on 29 June 2007.
