Next up from the uni TBR... this has a brilliant rating on Goodreads (over 4 stars⭐️) so I‘m excited and expecting big things!

Here is the cover of the novel, which I specifically wanted and hence ended up with the photo copied edition. 😆

Have any of you come across this before? I ordered a used copy of this book, it‘s in pristine condition for a former library book, but this edition is literally a copy of the first (I presume). Weird, I‘ve never seen a novel in print before like this - excepting digital copies.

silentrequiem Huh. How strange. 5y
