From the Publisher:
"...a brilliant book...very real and terribly distressing." – A.S. Byatt
About the Author:
"This quite extraordinary book has the intense, deeply focused power of cultural meditation, on certain themes of suffering, of childhood and family, triumphant in this almost unbearable world." – New York Times Book Review
Peter Rushforth’s brilliant first novel, Kindergarten, was published in 1979 and won the Hawthornden Prize, awarded to the best work of imaginative literature. After an absence of twenty-five years he returned to the literary scene in 2004 with the epic novel Pinkerton’s Sister, which charmed critics at the Washington Post, New Yorker, and San Francisco Chronicle, and was named a BookSense selection in March 2005. In the fall of 2005 Rushforth finished a sequel to Pinkerton’s Sister, an elegant novel entitled A Dead Language.
Sadly, after making his final revisions to his work, Peter Rushforth passed away while walking on the Yorkshire Moors. A Dead Language was published posthumously in the U.K. by Simon & Schuster.

Book Description Paperback. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: the rear endpaper is creased at the upper corner tip; aside from the remainder marks, refered to below,is book is flawless. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. REMAINDER, showing small marks at both the top and bottom edges. NOT a Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 192pp. First Edition Thus; First Printing, so stated. First published in a hardcover edition by Knopf in 1980. Trade Paperback. I read this book when it first came out, and have since read it several times. It is an extraordinarily moving story about modern English children who, because of an act of political terrorism by which they are directly affected, are brought to confront the meaning of the Holocaust from the standpoint of children. The novel is written with a somber simplicity and elegance, yet it succeeds in evoking not just the events themselves, but the whole cultural context of modern European history. It contains, for instance, one of the most frightening versions of the Hansel and Gretel story that you are ever likely to read. This book is definitely not recommended for children, but it would be hard to imagine any adult not finding it a deeply moving experience. First Edition; First Printing, so stated.
