Debatable Land by Candia McWilliam
Hardcover, UK First Edition | 1st Printing | 1994 | Publisher: Bloomsbury
A beautiful and luminous first edition from Candia McWilliam — one of Scotland's most highly regarded and distinctive prose stylists, and the author of A Case of Knives (winner of the Betty Trask Award) and A Little Stranger. McWilliam's writing is celebrated for its extraordinary linguistic precision, sensory richness, and emotional depth — qualities that have earned her devoted admirers among writers and readers alike. Debatable Land is set on a yacht sailing from Tahiti to New Zealand, a closed world in which the passengers' pasts and secrets gradually surface. It is a novel of rare beauty and moral complexity, published in the UK by Bloomsbury.
Condition: Good, with clear pages and spine with only minor creasing. Dust cover with discolouration on the spine area and signs of wear.
A prized first edition from one of the most gifted and under-celebrated voices in Scottish and British fiction.
