Heat and Dust

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND PRINTING. The internationally acclaimed, critically revered author's 1975 Booker Prize-winning novel of two English women in 1923 India. A London Times review states: "Technically, this is a superb book. A complex story line, which twirls itself softly round two time scales is handled with dazzling assurance. The simplicity of the prose, the sharpness of dialogue, the vivid economy of scene-setting ensure total clarity between past and present. Artistically this book is moving and profound. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala has not only written a penetrating and compassionate love story, she has exposed the soul and nerve ends of a fascinating and compelling country." 181 pages. Slight spine roll. Some sunning to DJ spine. MYLAR COVER PROTECTED. LF.
