FIRST EDITION, published 1992. From inner front flap of dustjacket: "With its luminous grace and subtle transformations, Beverley Farmer's new novel transcends her earlier books, and is her first full-length work of fiction since Alone was published in 1980, In mourning for her husband lost at sea, Dagmar leaves the wintry landscapes of the north for the tranquility of Swanhaven and a healing Australian summer. In the house where she spent her honeymoon twenty years before, she begins another journey, from grief to serenity and unexpected harvest. Suffused with exquisite aquatic imagery that reflects the currents in Dagmar's own moods, The Seal Woman charts the interplay of myth and language between the hemispheres". Printed in Australia. Bound in original cream boards with dark green lettering to spine, pictorial endpapers, in publisher's unclipped pictorial dustjacket. Slight handling wear, front hinge a little tender (but holding tight), mild marginal toning & faint spotting, otherwise a nice clean tight solid hardcover copy. The dustjacket is now protected in a removable clear mylar cover. 322pp. Uncommon title, scarce signed copy. RARE. SB-66. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 034189
