Pamela Haines – The Golden Lion – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1986
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of The Golden Lion by Pamela Haines, published by Collins, London in 1986. A near fine copy, with damp staining to the spine, shelf wear to the soft covers, damp stain to top edge of text block, spotting to the text block and prelims.
The Golden Lion by Pamela Haines is a sweeping historical saga set between Sicily and Yorkshire. Maria Verzotto endures trauma—kidnapping, rape, and the tragic loss of her cousin—kept hidden in a chest, shaping her life. Across generations, her adopted daughter Helen and biological son Guy grapple with love, betrayal, revenge and loss. The alternate “Golden Lion” symbolises both childhood fantasy and the brutal reality of a Sicilian crime lord. Haines captures the clash of privilege and poverty, weaving a compelling, inter-linked family narrative.
