Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Stated First Edition, but Number Line to 2, so likely a second printing. Signed by the author at the bottom of the title page, a rare signature. As you can see from the photos, the covers are very clean and pretty much free of wear, just a little crinkling at the spine ends. The book is square an…d very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers. The pages look terrific. I didn't see any soiling or creasing. The middle edge is deckled or rough-cut. There are no markings in the book. No attachments. And with the exception of the author's signature, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. From the NY Time's Review: In "The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit" Ms. Lagnado --an investigative reporter at The Wall Street Journal-- gives us a deeply affecting portrait of her family and its journey from wartime Cairo to the New World. Like André Aciman in his now classic memoir, "Out of Egypt", she conjures a vanished world with elegiac ardor and uncommon grace, and like Mr. Aciman she calculates the emotional costs of exile with an unsentimental but forgiving eye. This is not simply the story of a well-to-do family's loss of its home, its privileges and its identity. It is a story about how exile indelibly shapes people's views of the world, a story about the mathematics of familial love and the wages of memory and time. Writing in crystalline yet melodious prose, Ms. Lagnado gives us an indelible gallery of family portraits: Her mother, Edith, a shy young bride, unprepared for dealing with her much older husband's paternalistic sense of family and his reluctance to change his bachelor ways. Her maternal grandmother, Alexandra, disowned for making a bad marriage and emotionally unhinged by her husband's decision to sell their third child at the local souk. And her paternal grandmother, Zarifa, the family matriarch, who was a prodigious cook, slipping apricots into virtually every dish she prepared, convinced of the fruit's magical, healing powers. It is the author's father, Leon, however, who exerts the fiercest hold over his daughter's heart, and who holds center stage in this book. His story is a haunting one of dislocation and yearning, the story of a man who lost the only world he knew and loved, and who floundered in his efforts to make a new life in the land of the American dream.'.
