Printing Details
First UK edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 13.5cm, 304pp.
A lyrical tale of a deserted French fortress town repopulated by modern descendants. As the new inhabitants rebuild, they find themselves inextricably caught in the town's spectral past. Ultimately, the cycle of history repeats: an ancient battle is refought, and the town is returned to the ghosts, leaving it once again a ruin.
Condition
A good readable copy but the book has foxing to the page edges and a little to the endpapers. The dustwrapper is quite heavily chipped to the edges but it has not been price-clipped and is now within a protective sleeve.
US: Customs duty-free. The price of the book incurs no extra US import fees. EU: Sent DDP (Duties Paid) to most nations. Orders to Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia are sent DDU (Duties Unpaid) and subject to local customs clearance.
