Ian McEwan – The Child In Time – First UK Edition 1987
£65.00
A first edition, first printing of The Child in Time by Ian McEwan, published by Cape in 1987. A near fine book without inscriptions with slight pushing to upper corner of front panel, text block with minor spotting. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with a little wear to the corners and to the spine tips, with fading to spine and some internal spotting.
The Child in Time by Ian McEwan is a haunting exploration of grief, time and the complexities of parenthood. When Stephen Lewis’s young daughter disappears in a supermarket, his life unravels into a surreal journey through memory and despair. As Stephen grapples with loss and the fragility of existence, McEwan delves into the profound impact of trauma on the human psyche. Through poignant prose and existential themes, the novel invites reflection on the nature of love, loss and hope.
