Publication: Hamish Hamilton, 1981, London
First edition. Uncorrected page proofs. Fine in printed wrappers. Introduction by John Fowles. This is the only book written by Edwards. "This is a remarkable creation, a hypnotic story of passionate friendships and sorrows, joys and loves, kinships and animosities, that swells until it has peopled a whole new world. It is a brilliant and intricate novel, undoubtedly a classic of its kind--reminiscent in its fullness, its nobility of character, its grand simplicity, of the pastoral sagas of Thomas Hardy, and of his literary descendant, John Fowles."
