Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Lima, Sigrid de. Praise a fine day : a novel. First UK edition. London: Chatto & Windus, 1960. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear, protected by clear laminate sleeve. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. Mild tanning to endpapers. 144pp., contents clean and bright. Praise a Fine Day drew upon the experiences of de Lima and her husband in Rome. Told in the voice of a nameless American artist in his early thirties living in New York City, it recalls how he agreed to an arranged marriage with the stateless and pregnant Polish mistress of a wealthy Egyptian Jew to give American citizenship to their unborn child. Entering into the deception for purely financial reasons, he falls in love with the woman but ultimately finds himself abandoned and wondering whether anything he knew about the situation was true. The book received de Lima's best reviews. Edmund Fuller proclaimed her "one of the most deft, accomplished stylists among our younger writers," and Granville Hicks wrote that she had "a delicate style that matches her insights." In his Independent obituary, Christopher Hawtree called it a "small masterpiece": "the 150 pages take in all manner of manipulation, evil, passion and illicit congress: it could surely have been the basis for one of the era's great movies".
