Condition: Near Fine
Description: First impression of the first UK edition, with full number-string sequence including the no.

Internally near fine with an integral black satin reading ribbon. No inscriptions. Pages clean. No foxing. Spine tight. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's price of £16.99. No tears. Dustwrapper bright and clean, just slightly faded on the spine. ***242 mm x164 mm. 547 pages. ***'Ruth Cole is a complex, often self-contradictory character - a 'difficult' woman. By no means is she conventionally 'nice', but she will never be forgotten. ***Ruth's story is told in three parts, each focusing on a critical time in her life. When we first meet her - on Long Island, in the summer of 1958 - Ruth is only four. ***The second window into Ruth's life opens on the fall of 1990, when Ruth is an unmarried woman whose personal life is not nearly as successful as her literary career. She distrusts her judgment in men, for good reason. ***A Widow for One Year closes in the fall of 1995, when Ruth Cole is a forty-one-ear old widow and mother. She's about to fall in love for the first time. ***Richly comic, as well as deeply disturbing, A Widow for One Year is a multilayered love story of astonishing emotional force. Both ribald and erotic, it is also a brilliant novel about the passage of time and the relentlessness of grief.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper in very nice, clean, bright condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
