Machine Without Horses: A Novel
Signed first edition, first printing of Machine Without Horses: A Novel by Helen Humphreys, published in hardcover with dust jacket by HarperCollins Publishers Ltd in 2018. The copyright page states First edition and displays a complete number line ending in 1. This copy is personally inscribed to Sonia and signed by Helen Humphreys on the title page.
This inventive literary work combines reflection on the writing process with an imagined account of Megan Boyd, the famously private Scottish craftswoman who spent decades creating highly prized salmon flies. Humphreys first considers the challenges of reconstructing a life from incomplete evidence, then transforms her research into an intimate work of biographical fiction exploring creativity, solitude, love, and the meaning found in dedicated work.
The book appeared on Canadian independent fiction bestseller lists following publication. Humphreys is an acclaimed Canadian writer whose honours include the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the City of Toronto Book Award, a Lambda Literary Award, and the 2023 Matt Cohen Award celebrating a distinguished writing life.
The seller grades this copy Very Good. The hardcover and dust jacket show light handling consistent with a previously read copy, while the photographed interior areas appear clean. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description. The book will be packaged carefully to help protect it in transit.
