Coming Ashore: A Memoir
Coming Ashore: A Memoir by Catherine Gildiner, published by ECW Press in 2014. This hardcover first edition and first printing retains its dust jacket, which is now protected in a removable clear plastic cover. The complete 5 4 3 2 1 number line confirms the first printing.
The third volume in Gildiner’s memoir sequence follows her adventurous early adulthood during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Her story moves from poetry studies at Oxford and teaching in Cleveland to graduate studies in Toronto, combining humorous personal episodes with observations on education, class, feminism, and a rapidly changing culture. Contemporary reviews praised the book’s wit, energetic storytelling, and value as a portrait of a young woman coming of age during a period of social transformation.
This copy is signed by Catherine Gildiner on the title page with the brief sentiment “All the Best,” followed by her signature. No recipient’s name is visible, making the inscription suitable for a broad range of collectors and readers.
The seller grades the book Very Good. The jacket has light visible edge and corner wear and is protected in a removable clear cover. Pencil-like scribbled markings appear across the lower portion of the copyright page. The photographed Chapter 7 spread is clean and readable and shows one of the book’s black-and-white photographs. Please review the supplied photographs for the copy’s appearance and markings.
