  • Classic Bruce Chatwin novel

    The book is a pleasure to read. The description of the lifestyle of working classes in the early part of the 20th century is extremely well done. As far as I (being born in the 1950s) can tell.

    Great book. Came in good condition. Had a dedication which I wasn't expecting but no issue.
