Harrison lived and wrote as a muscular, masculine figure, but was widely praised for his complex and finely-tuned portrayal of Dalva. The book was thus appropriately dedicated to his wife, Linda King Harrison. By the author of Legends of the Fall and The Theory and Practice of Rivers, this novel is often held up as Harrison's masterpiece.Tail of spine is slightly (truncated) bumped.
