Binding: Hardback

Flat-signed by author to title page. From the outset, an incipient sense of dread permeates this stunning novella. It is Mothers' Day 1924, and both masters and servants go their separate ways on foot, by bicycle, train and sports car. Swift retains very tight control of the narrative, meaning we enter very intimately into this charged and fraught story, subtitled "a romance".  Magnificent, and presented here in a fine and very attractive little book. The fine jacket has just a little loss to top edge.  Very attractive Modigliani cover portrait with relief lettering.
