Paperback: 8½" x 5¼". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustrateur). 1990 Edition. © 1990: A stand-alone novel by M K Wren. 1st printing of 1990 edition:- Synopsis: Rachel Morrow and her young protege Mary Hope, isolated at Amarna on the remote Oregon shore, seem to be the sole survivors of the nuclear holocaust, their lives given purpose only by Rachel's mission to preserve whatever books are left. Until Luke appears on the shore - filling Mary with need and desire, both for him and for the Ark, the organized community from which he comes. Yet the encounter threatens everything she and Rachel believe in - for the Arkites are a strict, patriarchal society who think all books but the Bible are evil and who have no place for dissenters. Then Mary becomes involved in a bitter conflict with miriam, the icy beauty who vows to destroy her precious legacy - even if she has to kill to do so. 'A Gift Upon The Shore' is the story of an epic three-generational battle, whose final shattering resolution rocks the fragile foundations of their lives:- Review(s): "A lyrical, haunting story. A poignant expression of the durability, grace and potential of the human spirit" - Jean M Auel, author of 'The Clan Of The Cave Bear':- (original cost £7.99). N° de réf. du vendeur 11.004.00027
