About This Item
New York: Viking, 1990. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth and boards. Fine/Near Fine. INSCRIBED by the Author on the title page to "a fellow reader and writer" (dated 1999), 8vo, burgundy quarter cloth with gold lettering over lavender boards, archival mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (unclipped) with painting by Adam Nicklewicz, 339 pages. Margot Livesey (born 1953) is a Scottish born writer and professor. She is the author of eight novels, numerous short stories, and essays on the craft of writing fiction. HOMEWORK is the author's chilling debut novel about the dark side of childhood. INSCRIBED & in SUPERIOR CONDITION! Tight, clean, bright in a lightly rubbed though bright dust jacket. Curiously, the paper is already very slightly age-toned. It appears to be due to the paper quality generally.
