Item description from seller

New York: Turtle Point Press / Helen Mark Books, 1999. Bright, shiny, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Sharp corners. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped (25.00). No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Novel shortlisted for the 2000 Booker Prize. From the Dust Jacket: "In a London pub in the 1950s, editor William Maginn is intrigued by a mention of the strange - and reputedly shameful - demise of a remote mountain village in Kerry, Ireland, where he was born. Maginn returns to Kerry and uncovers an astonishing tale: both the account of the destruction of a place and a way of life which once preserved Ireland's ancient traditions and the tragedy of an increasingly isolated village where the women mysteriously die -- leaving the priest, Father McGreevy, to cope with insoluble problems. As war rages through Europe, McGreevy struggles to preserve what remains of his parish, against the rough mountain elements and the grief and superstitions of his people, and the growing distrust in the town below." Blurb from Frank Conroy: "A beautiful, dark and achingly sad tale that kept me spellbound -- the death of a tiny village in the mountains of County Kerry, 1939." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. 407pp.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
