Dustwrapper bright. ***242mm x160mm. 407 pages. ***'Spring 1982. Anglefield Road is a peaceful cul-de-sac in a suburban town north of London, with four houses looking out on each other. But when Argentina invades an obscure British colony, the Falklands, provoking a national crisis and a patriotic revival, the repercussions for the residents of Anglefield Road reach far beyond the events of that momentous summer. Enthralling, moving, darkly funny and humane, Anthem is a triumphant account of ordinary people and war, as the lives of four families are reshaped by a dispute over a group of small, barren islands at the bottom of the world.' ***A first impression of the true first edition, this copy signed by the author, in its original dustwrapper, in nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
