Add to basketCondition: Sehr gut. First Edition. 22.3cm x 14.5cm. 186 pages. Original Hardcover with original, illustrated dustjacket. In protective Mylar. Fine condition. Rare in this condition ! This story begins in Sydney, land of milk-shakes and honey-coloured beaches, in the early fifties, when the sense of cultural separation from Engl…and was still potent and painful. On her thirteenth birthday, Judy is taken to see a visiting English production of 'Macbeth', the unlucky play. From that night on, her life becomes fatally bound up with the off-stage love affair of the two leading actors, Claude Williams and Stella Mann, who seem to embody everything from which she feels so isolated: words, Shakespeare, the spoken beauty of language, all dissipated somehow in the hedonistic heat of the sun. The actors carelessly adopt her into their passing intimacy, and Judy is stricken with a love-sickness for which there can be no remedy. For she has fallen in love, not with a person, but with the love between two people, which must by its nature eventually exclude her. In England years later, Judy finds the actors estranged from each other and from a theatre radically altered from the one of her childhood dreams. But what private relationships she reaches with Claude and Stella cannot appease her real passion. Inexorable she is driven to engineer the event which brings about her own automatic rejection.
