BURNING BRIGHT

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, in the dustwrapper illustrated by Sarah Perkins. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Light toning to the fore-edge of the page block. In the fine dustwrapper, a touch faded to the spine. Not price-clipped (£15.00 to the front flap). A sharp, attractive copy of the author's second novel.

Signed by the author in black ink to the title page. "Nadine, a sixteen-year-old runaway new to London, is set up in a decaying Georgian house by her Finnish lover, Kai. Slowly, she begins to suspect that Kai's plans for her have little to do with love" (from the publisher). "[A] story of terrible innocence" (Leslie Wilson, 'The Independent on Sunday').
