Description: Jim CraceThe MelodyAlfred Busi, famed in his town for his music and songs, is mourning the recent death of his wife and quietly living out his days in the large villa he has always called home. Then one night Busi is attacked by a creature he disturbs as it raids the contents of his larder. Busi is convinced that what assaulted him was no animal, but a child, ‘innocent and wild’, and his words fan the flames of old rumour – of an ancient race of people living in the bosk surrounding the town – and new controversy: the town’s paupers, the feral wastrels at its edges, must be dealt with. Once and for all.Signed by Jim Crace to the title pageA fine, unread copy of a first edition, first impression hardback in a fine, unclipped dustjacket. published - Picador, 2018 All books are swathed in biodegradable bubble wrap and posted in strong, custom made book boxes to ensure undamaged delivery
