RACHEL BILLINGTON - A Woman's Age

London England, Hamish Hamilton, 1979. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0241102766 Hardback This book spans the three score years and ten of one woman's lifetime. It encompasses the lives of four generations. A Woman's Age is the author's most ambitious novel, with a marvellously wide range of characters whose lives interweave over seventy years against a series of dramatic and sometimes comical backgrounds. Although the novel is in a sense, a woman's story, portraying the extraordinary transition from corsets to Liberation, it also enters vigorously the traditional man's world of business, farming and even spying. 490 pages. Top corners of book slightly bumped. Very slight shelf wear to edges of D/J.
