£35.00
A first edition, first printing of The Shooting Party by Isabel Colegate, published by Hamish Hamilton in 1980.

The Shooting Party by Isabel Colegate is a historical novel set in 1913 England, depicting an aristocratic gathering at Sir Randolph Nettleby’s estate. The story unfolds over a weekend hunting party, revealing tensions, romances and societal changes among the guests.
