About This Item
This is a lovely clean copy of The Gates of Ivory, Margaret Drabble's 13th novel, published in 1991.
Margaret Drabble (born 1939-) is an English novelist, biographer and critic who has published 20 novels.
This is the first Canadian edition, published by McClelland Stewart.
It involves four intellectuals in Margaret Thatcher's London, a mysterious package and the difficult pilgrimage of an English writer through war-torn lands.
It has been called 'intellectually stimulating and very smart'.
462 pages.
White dust jacket, white covers, white book, all nice and bright.
The reason I haven't classified it as 'Fine' is because the original owner's name is on the front endpaper (her signature is small and attractive).
