Item description from seller

8vo; original dark green boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (iv) + 181. Dustwrapper very slightly edgeworn, with spine panel sunned; small label mark to tail of spine panel; earlier owner's name on front free endpaper; tape marks to endpapers. Good to very good condition. First edition of the book, which became a successful Merchant-Ivory film in 1983. "Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's new novel is on two planes in time, brilliantly interlocked in the form of a diary of an English girl who goes to India to reconstruct the story of Olivia, her grandfather's first wife. . The contrasts between the contemporary Indian scene and the India of 1923 are implicit in the vivid reconstruction of Olivia's story and the experiences of the English girl today.".
