Signed
The Year of the Runaways
A signed first Canadian edition, first printing of The Year of the Runaways by Sunjeev Sahota, published in hardcover by Alfred A. Knopf Canada in 2015. The complete 10-to-1 number line confirms the first printing, and the book retains its dust jacket and distinctive deckled-edge pages.
Sahota’s acclaimed novel follows three young Indian men and a woman whose lives become intertwined in northern England as they confront precarious work, family obligations and the difficult realities of building new lives far from home. An ambitious work of contemporary literary fiction, it was shortlisted for the 2015 Booker Prize.
This copy is flat signed by Sunjeev Sahota directly on the title page, without a named recipient. A separate handwritten notation above the title reads “Nominated for The Man Booker Prize”; the writer of that notation is not identified.
The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition as graded by the seller. Dark ink show-through or offsetting is visible across part of the copyright/cataloguing page. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and show the actual copy being offered.
