About This Item
London: Picador, 2001. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. This signed first edition of author and journalist Sid Smith's novel 'Something Like A House' was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Whitbread First Novel Award, following a British soldier who deserts to China during the Korean War and stays there some 35 years, bringing up a little girl who later becomes a victim of experimental biological warfare. Despite being set in China, Smith had never traveled there before writing the novel, the background gleaned from extensive research at the British Library amongst other places. An exciting novel set in a China almost unknown to the outside world, a chilling account of an army deserter living through a Cultural Revolution. Clean, bright copy. Record # 385779
