A first impression of the true first edition -the author's first published novel - published by Picador in 2024, with the full number line 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2 on the printer's page. This copy is a special signed edition, with a tipped-in page that has been flat-signed by the author. ***A virtually fine copy in black cloth-covered boards with white titles to the spine - just slight creasing to the top and tail of the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corner tips sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges nice and clean. No foxing. Internally also near fine, with no inscriptions other than the author's signature. The pages are clean with no foxing or annotations. No creases or tears. ***In a near fined colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £14.99. The dustwrapper is complete with no discernible faults. No rubbing, creasing, chips or tears. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***205mm x 135mm. 215 pages. ***'Elizabeth O'Connor (born 1991) is an English writer. O'Connor's short story "Woman with a White Pekingese" won the 2020 White Review Short Story Prize. Via a 10-way auction in October 2022, Picador Books (an Pan Macmillan imprint) acquired the rights to publish O'Connor's debut novel "Whale Fall" in 2024. The novel takes place in 1938 on a fictional small island off the coast of Wales and features 18-year-old Manod Llan seeking to leave as two English anthropologists Joan and Edward visiting the island hire her as a translator. O'Connor had wanted to write about depopulated islands, reading memoirs of evacuees from Bardsey Island, St Kilda, the Blaskets and the Aran Islands. "Whale Fall" won the Chautauqua Prize and a Betty Trask Award. It also made the ALA Notable Books list, and was a BBC Two Between the Covers book club pick, shortlisted for the Barnes & Noble Discover Prize, and longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award. O'Connor was named one of the 10 best new novelists of 2024 by The Observer.' (Wiki) ***'It is 1938 and for Manod, a young woman living on a remote island off the coast of Wales, the world looks ready to end just as she is trying to imagine a future for herself ---. Elizabeth O'Connor's beautiful, devastating debut tells a story of longing and betrayal set against the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, in near fine condition - this copy being signed by the author. An award-winning debut novel. ***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. …
