Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Mo Coverdale is quietly minding his own business, living in rural simplicity on a farm rather too close to the family estate for comfort. A 21-year-old free spirit with a taste for the unconventional, he has removed himself from a promising naval career and simultaneously a family inheritance. As far as his conservative family is concerned, he has simple ceased to exist. In the post-war turbulence of 1929, nothing is as it ever was or ever will be again. The games of the gentry clash with old rural mores in this moving novel of sexual betrayal and youthful dissent. This book portrays a world perilously balanced on the brink of enormous social change through the microcosm of rancorous family feud. Seller Inventory # 016121
