A rare signed pristine copy of Jo Walton's haunting and award winning novel, Among Others. Walton's 9th novel won the 2012. Nebula Award for Best Novel. Hugo Award for Best Novel. And was a nominee for the.
World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. I bought this copy in the year of publication and can guarantee it is in flawless, unread fine condition. The author signed very few copies of this book and its pristine condition makes it even more rare - and immensely collectible. Startling, unusual, and yet irresistably readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and science fiction, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment. Raised by a half-mad mother who dabbled in magic, Morwenna Phelps found refuge in two worlds. As a child growing up in Wales, she and her twin sister played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins, but her mind found freedom and promise in the science fiction novels that were her closest companions. When her mother tries to bend the spirits to dark ends with deadly results, Mori is sent away and must try to come to terms with what has happened without falling prey to the darkness.
