Description:
Headline, London, 1998. 1st British. Hardcover. Good/Good. Colour illustrated dustwrapper. Two novellas: The Train Now Departing and When The Mousetrap Closes. Subtle and perceptive, athmospheric and lyrical, these two beautifully accomplished and thematically linked novellas are deceptively profound in their exploration of emotional isolation and identity within human relationships. Reminicent of Barbara Pym yet told in Grimes's inimitable voice, they combine singular characters and richly textured narrative that readers have grown to expect from this internationally bestselling storyteller. Slight shelf wear to the base of the dustwrapper and some minor damage to the rear panel of the same. General handling marks etc. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 153 pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Crime Fiction; ISBN: 0747219710. ISBN/EAN: 9780747219712. Inventory No: 0202648. .…

In "The Mousetrap Closes," a future world in which the world's resources are running out has led to a society in which people are forced to live in sealed communities. When one of the communities is attacked, the residents must decide whether to break out and risk the dangers of the outside world or stay and risk being killed.; 8vo; FSA .
