Description
An uncorrected proof copy of An Imperfect Lady by Sarah Harrison, published by Macdonald. A near fine copy, signed by the author in black ink to the title page, additionally numbered 2/1000 to the title page, with creasing and fading to the spine, light shelf wear to the soft covers, spotting to the top edge of the text block.
An Imperfect Lady by Sarah Harrison charts Adeline “Addy” Gundry’s extraordinary life from Edwardian Devon to a cosmopolitan adulthood. Raised to conform, she rebels—marrying for solace, pursuing art in 1920s London, and joining a Bloomsbury-style circle where she embarks on a passionate affair with novelist Marian Elverston. Tragic losses—her husband’s suicide, a broken relationship, a death—shape her resilience. Over decades and across Europe, Adeline evolves into a fierce, independent portrait painter. Some find the emotional beats predictable, yet Addy’s journey remains compelling.
