Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It really is an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness and brightness.
Trudy has betrayed her husband,John.She's still in the marital home - a dilspidated,priceless London townhouse - but John's not here. Instead,she's with his brother,the profoundly banal Claude,and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive,nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb.
Told from a perspective unlike any other, 'Nutshell' is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers.
