Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A brilliant two volume set of novels by English novelist and art historian, Anita Brookner.

Including:

1985 Family & Friends
A richly textured novel about the life of a wealthy Jewish family in London, centering upon the generation that came to maturity between the two World Wars.

1991 A Closed Eye
A hauntingly flawed heroine whose powers of submissiveness and self denial are suddenly tested by an awakening. Brookner explores the self-inflicted paradoxes of the protagonist with compassionate insight and stylistic brilliance.

Both volumes are the first editions of the works, in publisher's original cloth bindings. In the original unclipped dust wrappers.

Condition

In publisher's original cloth bindings. In the original unclipped dust wrappers. Externally, excellent. Very minor shelf wear to head and tail of spines. Dust wrappers are vert smart. Light shelf wear with the odd small mark to wrap of Family & Friends. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean throughout.

Overall: Fine
