About This Item

Hardcover Book in Very Good Condition with a Good Jacket. Binding of brown half cloth with gilt titles, tan boards. Clean, tight, unmarked, untorn.

Mylar protective cover. 544 pages. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. This novel has many threads and a series of events that follow one another at an exciting pace--an accidental car accident death ten days after the war ended, in 1945; some science fiction surrounding back street lovers; the discovery of a sailboat with a dead body in it--the body of the husband of the sister who died in the car accident--everything does come together and readers will find that the story Atwood is telling is much more than it seems to be as one reads these varied and startling events. Nan Talese/Doubleday, New York, 2000.
