London: Alvin Redman, 1950. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Very faint foxing to the endpapers, bumping to the corners of the boards, else fine in a lightly soiled, near fine dustwrapper with chipping and a few tears. A novel set in modern-day Japan, about a woman's struggle to hold her family together and to fight the ever-present threat of starvation. (Inventory #: 80134)
