Alexandra Jones – Samsara – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1988
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of Samsara by Alexandra Jones, published by Macdonald, London in 1988. A near fine copy, with fading, spotting and creasing to the spine, similarly faded and spotted to the extremities of the soft boards, light spotting to the top edge of text block.
Samsara by Alexandra Jones transports readers to late 19th century Tibet, then a mysterious and geopolitically charged realm. British surveyor Lewis Joyden, masquerading as a Buddhist monk, ventures into the Forbidden City amid the “Great Game.” He meets Russian princess Sonya Vremya, searching for her missing brother and seeking a divorce. Against harsh landscapes and imperial rivalries, their rekindled attraction deepens. Between espionage and forbidden love, the novel blends adventure, political tension and exotic atmosphere across Tibet’s sacred valleys.
