Russell Banks – The Sweet Hereafter – First US Edition – SIGNED by the Author
£95.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Sweet Hereafter published by HarperCollins in 1991. A fine book in like wrapper – SIGNED on the title page by the Author without dedication.
A powerful novel examining a small town shattered by a school-bus accident that kills many children. Told through multiple narrators—including a lawyer, a grieving father, and a teenage survivor—it explores blame, guilt, and the struggle to rebuild lives after communal tragedy.
Atom Egoyan’s 1997 film adaptation preserves the novel’s emotional intensity while reshaping its structure, focusing on mood and silence rather than plot. The film earned critical acclaim, noted for its haunting atmosphere, layered performances, and sensitive treatment of grief.
