Condition: near fine without previous owner’s scribbles, no names, no bookplates. Slight shelf wear. First state dust jacket without reference to the Booker Prize. Not price clipped.

Winner of the 2009 Booker Prize. Adapted into a Broadway musical, for the theatre, and for the TV screen starring Mark Rylance.
