    Edition: First US printing.

    New York: St Martin's, (1997) dj. Hardcover first edition - The first book published in the US by this novelist - "a sharply observed, hilarious, and bittersweet send-up of academic pretentiousness and literary obsession. . . Academics and Wuthering Heights fans are descending on the Bronte family homestead for an Emily Bronte conference. Among their ranks are a single, over-sixty, self-professed expert on the Brontes; an overworked wife, mother, and university lecturer; a widower sustained by nocturnal visits from Emily's ghost; and a young waitress suddenly drawn into the curious orbit of academia." Each finds the weekend life-changing, but not in the ways they expected. 258 pp. ISBN: 0-312168446.

    Condition: Very near fine in a like dustjacket.
