Description
An uncorrected proof copy of The Tar Pit by Tor Seidler, published by Gollancz in 1988. A near fine copy, with fading to the spine, light handling wear to soft covers, some toning to top edge of text block.
The Tar Pit by Tor Seidler is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of family, loss, and emotional healing. The story centres on Lewis, a sensitive boy struggling to cope with his parents’ divorce and the changes it brings. His connection to a neighbour and fascination with fossils—particularly a tar pit—mirror his internal journey through grief and understanding. Seidler blends emotional depth with gentle humour, creating a touching narrative about growing up and moving forward.
