About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, (1933). First edition. The daughter of a county family marries the son of one of the tenants and is rejected by her kith and kin - a fine and unsentimental novel of Irish life. "From this straightforward account of the lives of a few Irish families we get an almost complete conception of the problem of Ireland" (Aberdeen Press, 12th October 1933). Crown 8vo (20cm). (414),[ii]pp. Original olive cloth, blocked and lettered in yellow; edges spotted, but otherwise a very good copy in the stylish dust-jacket - slightly darkened at foot of spine and with just a touch of edge-wear, but also very good.
