Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Charles Pallisers work has been hailed as so compulsively absorbing that reality disappears (New York Times). Since his extraordinary debut, The Quincunx, his works have sold over one million copies worldwide. With his new novel, Rustication, he returns to the town of Thurchester, which he evoked so hauntingly in The Unburied. It is winter 1863, and Richard Shenstone, aged seventeen, has been sent downrusticatedfrom Cambridge under a cloud of suspicion. Addicted to opium and tormented by sexual desire, he finds temporary refuge in a dilapidated old mansion on the southern English coast inhabited by his newly impoverished mother and his sister, Effie. Soon, graphic and threatening letters begin to circulate among his neighbors, and Richard finds himself the leading suspect in a series of crimes and misdemeanors ranging from vivisection to murder. Atmospheric, lurid, and brilliantly executed, Rustication confirms Pallisers reputation as our leading contemporary Victorian novelist (Guardian). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Rustication ? A Novel (2013) by Charles Palliser. Norton. ISBN: 9780393088724. Condition: Good. Advance Copy for Media Attention. Some novels gently invite you into their world with charming characters, pleasant scenery and the comforting promise that everything will probably work out in the end. Rustication looks at those novels with mild contempt before leading you down a muddy Victorian lane towards a suspiciously isolated country house where absolutely nobody seems trustworthy and every family secret has been fermenting nicely for generations. Charles Palliser, best known for making readers question the reliability of absolutely everyone in The Quincunx , returns with a gloriously Gothic tale of exile, obsession, revenge, superstition and the peculiar English talent for pretending everything is perfectly normal while the neighbours are quietly sharpening pitchforks. Set in the 1860s, it follows Richard Shenstone, who has been politely encouraged to leave Cambridge and retreat to his family?s rural estate. Naturally, he hopes for peace and quiet. Naturally, he gets quite the opposite. What unfolds is part psychological thriller, part Victorian mystery, part fever dream, with enough unsettling incidents to make you suspicious of every creaking floorboard, every village tradition and anyone who says, "It?s always been done this way." There are strange deaths, whispered rumours, uncomfortable social tensions and a growing sense that civilisation is merely a very thin veneer covering something considerably darker. The joy of Palliser?s writing is that he refuses to hurry. He patiently lays clues, red herrings and deliciously uncomfortable conversations until you?re convinced you?ve solved the mystery?at which point he quietly rearranges the furniture while you weren?t looking. It?s the literary equivalent of confidently announcing you?ve worked out the ending of a detective series halfway through episode two, only to spend the remaining episodes realising you hadn?t even identified the right detective. This particular copy carries an extra layer of publishing curiosity because it is an Advance Copy for Media Attention . Before the reviews, before the publicity campaign, before eager readers began arguing about the ending, this was one of the copies sent into the wild in the hope that critics, reviewers and journalists might spread the word. In publishing circles these advance copies occupy a pleasant niche somewhere between working document and collectible curiosity, often differing slightly from the finished first edition and offering a glimpse behind the curtain of the book trade. The book itself remains in good condition , having successfully survived the publishing industry?s promotional machinery without being sacrificed to the office coffee machine or disappearing forever beneath a reviewer?s teetering pile of unread proofs. It now awaits a new owner with an appreciation for Victorian unease, beautifully constructed mysteries, and stories where everyone appears respectable until the plot starts politely peeling back the wallpaper. From Crappy Old Books ?because even advance copies eventually advance into the second-hand book trade, where they discover that the reviews are over, the publicity has faded, and the real adventure is finding another reader.…
