The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Sunjeev Sahota's "The Year of The Runaways". His breakthrough novel. "A sweeping, urgent contemporary epic, set against a vast geographical and historical canvas, astonishing for its richness and texture and scope, and for the utter immersiveness of its reading experience. Unfolds over the course of one shattering year in which the destinies of the characters become irreversibly entwined, a year in which they are forced to rely on one another in ways they never could have foreseen, and in which their hopes of breaking free of the past are decimated by the punishing realities of immigrant life" (Publisher's blurb). "All you can do is surrender, happily, to its power" (Salman Rushdie DJ Cover Blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Sunjeev Sahota collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Sunjeev Sahota. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program and Bookmark of the event during which his signature was obtained. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus.
