Francis Wyndham – The Other Garden – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1987
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of The Other Garden by Francis Wyndham, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1987. A near fine copy, light bumping to the spine tips, some surface tears to the spine, the text block bright and crisp.
The Other Garden by Francis Wyndham is a poignant novella set in a quiet English village at the onset of World War II. It centres on a teenage narrator and Kay, a bohemian woman in her thirties, both quietly rebelling against conformity. Their unlikely friendship unfolds through war reshaped lives: Kay works in a canteen, has a brief affair with an American G.I. and, alongside the narrator, grapples with tuberculosis. Wyndham’s spare, evocative prose captures loss, loyalty and the lingering echoes of love.
