The High Road by Edna O'Brien. 1988 FSG first edition/printing. Jacket and book in very good condition. A tragic summery story by a celebrated Irish author.

"As with many a thing, we had embarked on it lightly, but it caught fire, escalated, went too far, to the marrow, rekindled hopes, sparked off desires, hurting even as it satiated, creating fresh hungers and fresh fears."
