Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "A ferocious comedy of middle-class dysfunction . . . published to controversy in 1973 . . . A masterpiece." --Claire Allfree, The Telegraph "Extraordinary . . . This novel [is] full of horrors but energetic, funny and tense as a spring . . . Lord Jim at Home, inspired by a real story but full of the kind of truth only fiction can deliver, plants its devilish brilliance deep in the reader and won't let go." --John Self, The Guardian When Dinah pooke's second novel, Lord Jim at Home, was first published in 1973, it was described as "squalid and startling," "nastily horrific," and a "monstrous parody" of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day--like the hero of Joseph Conrad's classic Lord Jim--commits an act that calls his past, his character, his whole world into question. Out of print for nearly half a century (and never published in the United States), Lord Jim at Home reveals a daring writer long overdue for reappraisal, whose work has retained all its originality and power. As Ottessa Moshfegh writes in her foreword to this new edition, pooke evokes childhood vulnerability and adult cruelty "in a way that nice people are too polite to admit they understand.".…

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. "A devastating account of the sexual awakening of an English lady . . . An intense, fastidiously crafted and disturbing novel." -Publishers WeeklyFrom the "brilliant forgotten novelist" behind the "ferocious" Lord Jim at Home (The Telegraph) comes a searing tale of a young woman's unravelling beneath the unforgiving Tuscan sun.Miranda, her husband Louis, and their infant daughter are set to spend the summer in a rented villa in Tuscany. He's a self-assured young American actor; she, a well-educated, well-bred English ingénue. But when Louis is called away to a shoot, Miranda is left alone with her baby in the remote Italian countryside-until a young Italian named Oreste arrives, claiming to have been invited by her now-absent husband.Miranda quickly falls under the interloper's spell-and into his arms-launching into a feverish affair that threatens to dissolve her already fragile, fracturing sense of self. As events spiral further out of her control, the novel hurtles headlong toward its horrifying conclusion.Written in the same "limpid, assured style: cruel, yes, but not detached or apathetic" (Harper's Magazine) as Lord Jim at Home, Dinah Brooke's transgressive debut remains every bit as shocking as when it was first published in 1971.…
