The Virgin in the Garden by A. S. Byatt

The Virgin in the Garden is the first novel to feature Frederica Potter, and the beginning of a triumphant quartet of novels. Set in Yorkshire in 1952 as the inhabitants of the area set about celebrating the accession of a new Queen, this is the tale of a brilliant and eccentric family fatefully divided.

The Virgin in the Garden is a wonderfully entertaining novel, in which enlightenment and sexuality, Elizabethan drama and comedy intersect richly and unpredictably.

Condition: Acceptable

A vintage book with obvious wear. Has some damage to the cover, including scuff marks, creasing, and general wear, but integrity still intact. No writing in margins, no underlining and highlighting of text, and no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text. There is very minor creasing, but no tearing. And all pages are bordered with a very light discolouring caused by age. Still a clean, solid, and readable copy.
