Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Murdoch, Iris. The Italian girl. Jacket design by Reynolds Stone. Fourth impression. London: Chatto & Windus, 1979. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with price lightly crossed through. Tan cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. 204pp., b/w woodcut illustrations. Base of page block has a letter 'P' written in black. Contents clean and bright. The major theme of The Italian Girl is that of resolution and redemption. The final chapters of the book are so heavily steeped in this theme that they have the flavour of a morality play. Good replaces evil. Solutions appear to be problems, and characters develop extra dimensions that enable them to cope, perhaps even to thrive. Secrets are revealed, honesty pervades. A claustrophobic convergence is replaced by divergence and optimism. Characters even set off to romantic or familiar destinations. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing. Seller Inventory # ABE-1693603631185
