Description
First edition, first printing of ‘Taken at the Flood’. Published by Collins Crime Club in London, 1948. This is a near fine copy. The near fine dust wrapper has benefitted from some restorative repair to the spine tips and corners. Not price clipped. The boards are mostly free from chips and marks. The internals are clean and fresh, as are the text blocks. This copy has inscriptions and is in near fine condition.
The novel tells a story of post-World War II England, when life seems turned upside down, with the relief of the end of the war, the changes from who lived and who died, and the economic challenge of post-war life, playing out for one family in a village not far from London.
