Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use; The book shows very slight spine lean; just a touch of wear to the extremities; very mild rubbing to the wrapper covers; the binding remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 239pp. Trade Paperback. In July, 1943, David Mulberry, New Zealand born scholar, archaeologist, British officer, is parachuted into Sicily with the Allied forces and disappears. Twenty years later his son arrives to search for him and solve the riddle of his presumed death. My Name is Paradiso is the story of that quest, and the book - what a young New Zealander sees when confronted by an alien and violent culture - is the nearest McNeish has come to autobiography.
