Galveston: A Novel

by Paul Quarrington

Galveston: A Novel by Paul Quarrington, published in hardcover with dust jacket by Random House Canada in 2004. This is the first Canadian edition and first printing, as indicated by the complete number line ending in 1. ISBN 0-679-31236-6.

Quarrington’s storm-driven novel brings a group of damaged and obsessive travellers to Dampier Cay, a small Caribbean island lying in the expected path of a hurricane. As the storm approaches, the story explores love and loss, guilt, forgiveness and the human urge to confront danger. Galveston was shortlisted for the 2004 Giller Prize.

This copy is signed and personally inscribed by Paul Quarrington on the title page. The handwriting includes a personalized message, although the recipient and complete wording are only partly legible in the photograph.

Seller-graded Very Good. The dust jacket shows light visible edge and spine-area wear, while the photographed title and copyright pages appear clean apart from the author’s intended inscription. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
