125 pages; Fine/Near Fine. Attractive deep green boards with bright gilt lettering. Boards are straight, tips are pointed, spine is square and pages are clean. DJ has tee-niny bit of shelf rub bottom edge. Now in protective sleeve. An excellent gift! The setting and the characters of Mrs Caliban- American suburbia, a couple existing amidst the fragments of a collapsed marriage - are caught with deftness of touch and a sure ear for dialogue: a deadlocked couple becalmed in a Sargasso Sea. Then, suddenly, the ocean erupts and life, sea-changed, takes on the shifting splendour of the sea's depths. In the end, the brief spectacular hurricane dies as gently as small waves on sand. But the memory of it is unforgettable.
