About This Item
Macmillan, 1976. First edition. Hardcover, 266 pp. Green cloth binding in near fine condition. Dust jacket shows very light shelf wear, and some spotting on the verso, along the spine. Overall in very good condition. Spark had relocated full-time to Italy when she wrote The Takeover, a novel set at the enchanted lake Nevi where the goddess Diana once stood. An ambitious novel that looks at modern problems of love, happiness, religion, and money with questions about the pagan and classical worlds and mythologies as a vibrant backdrop.
