London: André Deutsch, 1988. First edition. Octavo. pp. 232. Bound by Hunter & Foulis in quarter brown morocco over marbled boards, title in gilt along spine. Edition limited to 100 copies for sale [this copy being No. 54]. Signed by the author. A fine copy in fine slipcase.
A handsome limited edition of Molly Keane’s final novel, issued in a strictly limited run and signed by the author. First published in 1988, Loving and Giving is a sharp and perceptive examination of family relationships, ageing and emotional dependency, displaying the wit and social observation for which Keane is celebrated. Signed limited editions of Keane’s later works are increasingly difficult to obtain, particularly in such fine condition and complete with the original slipcase. An attractive collector’s copy by one of Ireland’s most distinguished twentieth-century novelists.
