Våra experter hjälper dig eftersöka "The Stranger's Child" - utan extra kostnad
Glansholms Antikvariat har många tusentals böcker på lager - och över 10 miljoner böcker hos våra underleverantörer. Vi har en unik service till dig - efterlys boken och våra experter eftersöker den åt dig och återkommer inom några dagar.
Vad kommer boken att kosta? Normalpriserna för efterlysta böcker ligger mellan 120 kr och 380 kr beroende på utgåva, skick, tillgång, etc. Vi kan inte lämna ett pris förrän vi bedömt det enskilda exet. Har vi boken inne kan det ibland bli billigare och rariteter har ofta ett högre värde, att en bok är kostsam hindrar oss inte från att eftersöka och reservera den för våra kunder.
Är en efterlysning bindande? Nej, naturligtvis får du se bild, pris och skickbedömning innan du bestämmer dig. Men en efterlysning innebär ofta att vi låter ta in boken på lager och vi är därför naturligtvis tacksamma om du är seriöst intresserad och återkommer när vi kontaktar dig via epost.
Vänligen gör en efterlysning per bok! Varje bok behöver ett eget referensnummer för att vi ska kunna hantera efterlysningen.
Vi behandlar inte efterlysningar av ordinarie kurslitteratur.

In the late summer of 1913 the aristocratic young poet Cecil Valance comes to stay at 'Two Acres', the home of his close Cambridge friend George Sawle. The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for all the Sawles, but it is on George's sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact, when Cecil writes her a poem which will become a touchstone for a generation, an evocation of an England about to change for ever. Linking the Sawle and Valance families irrevocably, the shared intimacies of this weekend become legendary events in a larger story, told and interpreted in different ways over the coming century, and subjected to the scrutiny of critics and biographers with their own agendas and anxieties.
In a sequence of widely separated episodes we follow the two families through startling changes in fortune and circumstance.
At the centre of this often richly comic history of sexual mores and literary reputation runs the story of Daphne, from innocent girlhood to wary old age. Around her Hollinghurst draws an absorbing picture of an England constantly in flux.
As in "The Line of Beauty", his impeccably nuanced exploration of changing taste, class and social etiquette is conveyed in deliciously witty and observant prose.
Exposing our secret longings to the shocks and surprises of time, "The Stranger's Child" is an enthralling novel from one of the finest writers in the English language.
