Description
An uncorrected proof copy of Passing Glory by Reay Tannahill, published by Century, in 1989, number 100 in a limited edition of 500. A near fine copy, some pushing to the extremities, creasing to the spine and light spotting to top edge of text block. With an associated promotional colour poster.
Passing Glory by Reay Tannahill is a sweeping historical family saga covering 1901–1953. It opens with young Matt Britton’s embarrassing outburst at Queen Victoria’s funeral, then tracks him as a war hero turned aviator. Meanwhile, Jenny Jardine, his widowed sister-in-law, leaves aristocratic life for shipyard realities. Their lives intersect with family tensions—Paul Britton’s pride, Natasha’s Russian elegance, cousin Howard’s ambition—amid two world wars, Depression, and social upheaval. Winner of the 1990 Romantic Novel of the Year.
