About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1987. Book. Fine. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. London, Faber & Faber, 1987. First edition. 8vo. Olive green cloth with white lettering embossed on spine, 249 pp. The book unfolds in an old folk's home in the American south, where Clara Julian works as a story-teller. As she narrates her tales to the inmates of the home, the old women begin telling her their stories; the humorous, unsentimental, deeply moving accounts of their men and children, hopes and disappointments, jobs, lovers, betrayals: the unsung epic of their ordinary lives. Poignant and dazzling! Fine in a fine dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
