SUE KRISMAN - Ducks and Drakes

London, England, Heinemann, 1981. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback Carrie Bellworthy is a woman who has everything: a rich and indulgent husband, two adorable moppets safely ensconced in boarding school, a handsome country mansion with a lake and a park where she can pursue her artistic bent by running an embryonic colony for artists of all kinds - everything, except a lover. But when she advertises for a poetry tutor, hoping for someone special, she gets in Daniel Isaacs more than she bargained for. Set in the Meon Valley of Hampshire and in Paris, this exuberantly funny novel has undercurrents of the pain and terrors of life itself. Previous owners name and date to inside cover.
