Description
An uncorrected proof copy of A Woman of Judah by Ronald Frame, published by The Bodley Head, London in 1987. A near fine copy, with fading to the spine, light shelf wear to the soft covers, mild spotting to top edge of text block.
A Woman of Judah: A Novel and Fifteen Stories by Ronald Frame opens in 1930s Essex, following an elderly judge recalling his early days as a young lawyer. The central novel explores his fascination with the enigmatic doctor’s wife, Vivien Davies, whose beauty and scandal spark gossip and obsession. The subsequent fifteen stories—set in varied locales—probe the mysteries people harbour, using precise detail and atmospheric settings to evoke complex characters and hidden emotional lives.
