Toronto: The Macmillan Company of Canada Limited, 1964. First edition. First edition. (This, the Canadian edition, preceded all others.) Signed by Jane Rule on the title page. 255 pp. Bound in publisher's crimson cloth with silver lettering. Very Good with former owners' lesbian-themed bookplate on verso of front free endpaper, a little associated wrinkling; tidemark to rear board along bottom edge; coffee stain to rear panel of dust jacket, light wear, jacket still Very Good. One of the first novels to deal with lesbian characters in a literary/ romantic context (rather than pulp or erotic), and published in hardcover rather than paperback. Uncommon signed. The basis of the 1985 film Desert Hearts.
