The contents, with very faint offsetting to the endpapers, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwraper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£3.50 to the lower front flap). Scarce.

The Canadian author's fifth novel, which won the Governor General's Literary Award. First published in Canada by McClelland and Stewart in 1976.
