Signed
A Widow for One Year
A signed First Canadian Edition of A Widow for One Year by John Irving, published in hardcover by Alfred A. Knopf Canada in 1998. The copyright page retains the First Canadian Edition statement and the associated first-printing number line. The original dust jacket is present.
Irving’s expansive novel follows Ruth Cole at three defining periods in her life, beginning with her childhood in 1958 and continuing through her career as a successful writer and her experience of widowhood. It is a layered family story concerned with grief, memory, love, separation, parenthood, and the lives writers create both on and off the page. The opening portion of the novel was later adapted as the film The Door in the Floor.
This copy is personally inscribed to named recipients and signed by John Irving across the title page. The bold inscription ink appears to show through onto the copyright page. The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition overall, with light jacket rubbing and scuffing, a few small pale abrasions, and minor edge and corner wear visible in the photographs.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the signature, edition information, and condition of the copy offered.
