About This Item
Mercer Books, 2010. Fine/Fine. First edition, first printing in d/w not price clipped. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, without dedication or inscription on title-page. Illustrated with photographs and family charts. A well-researched and authoritative history of Christopher (Kit) Chapman's family (family name changed from Pruger in 1937). A tale of fortunes won and lost, of bitter rivalries, death and suicide, and moral angst. In the 1950s, Kit's parents settled into life at Taunton's 'Castle Hotel'. For ten dark years, Gerald (Kit's brother) struggled with his homosexuality before coming out. Gerald's death by AIDS eventually split the family and brought 'The Castle' to the brink of bankruptcy. Kit's powerful and extraordinary account is a journey of reconciliation - an attempt to understand, forgive and heal the scars left by his battles with his parents. With Index. A fine copy, in a fine d/w, of a SCARCE first edition, first printing SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. HEAVY PLEASE CONTACT US ABOUT POSTAGE. MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL COST. D/w now protected in a detachable, non-adhesive, clear sheaf.. Signed by Author. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.
