Penelope Fitzgerald – The Bookshop – First UK Edition
£285.00
A first edition, first printing published by Duckworth in 1978. A near fine book without inscriptions, in like unclipped wrapper, a little faded to the spine, with a small nick to the head of the front flap.
“The Bookshop” is a poignant and subtly humorous exploration of the human spirit and the love of literature. It paints a vivid picture of the social dynamics and challenges of a small English town while delving into the life of a strong-willed woman who refuses to conform to societal expectations. The novel is known for its spare, economical prose and has been praised for its wit and insight into the human condition. It’s a relatively short but powerful work that has garnered critical acclaim and is considered one of Penelope Fitzgerald’s most notable novels.
