Tremain SACRED COUNTRY
New York Scribner April 12, 1993 0-689-12170-9 / 9780689121708 1st Edition Hardcover VG+/VG+
A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper,(pre vious bookshop stamp inside fep)no inscriptions or underlining, this is not a 'BOMC' ex-library book; At the age of 6, while standing in a field observing a minute's silence for the death of King George IV, Mary Ward realized she was not a little girl. "That was a mistake," she said to herself. "She was a boy." Where this realization takes Mary is the ostensible subject of Sacred Country, although British writer Rose Tremain (author of The Way I Found Her) so lovingly treats the bleak town of Swaithey, England, where Mary grows up, and the people around her that the novel eddies out to encompass the town and times. With a steady eye, Tremain describes the harsh circumstances of Mary's early life and her disconnection from her body and surroundings. That she can find so much humor and magic in Mary's slow transformation into Martin is remarkable, but the book may be most memorable for its quiet realism and light, exacting prose. Not to be missed.
