Description
Bound in dark pink cloth with black and white titling on spine. Some bleaching to spine and the top of the back and front boards. Minor bumping to corners. A little tanning to edges. The background – a middle-class English family, materially comfortable, emotionally the exact opposite, and Laura’s at times comic endeavours to free herself not only from these latter-day Forsytes but from the snares of her own temperament are drawn by an already astonishingly assured hand. Connoisseurs are going to enjoy Vanished with the Rose, and if they should be curious as to the writer’s pseudonym, so is her publisher. Published by Hutchinson 1964. Weight 385g
