(London), Virago, (1982). The first novel by the Booker Prize-winning author of the acclaimed Regeneration trilogy, one of the great series of novels of the first World War in English literature. This is the exceedingly scarce hardcover issue of this book, published by a small press started in the 1970s to publish women writers. Even the softcover issue of this title, which follows six working class women in 1970s England, is uncommon. This is an ex-library copy, with a "Sheffield City Libraries" stamp on the copyright page and no other library markings. Foredge a bit dusty; else fine in a fine dust jacket. The only copy of the hardcover issue of this title that we have ever handled. [#914608] SOLD
