A scarce mid-century first edition by Catherine Eastwood, an author whose works are now infrequently encountered in the antiquarian market. Titles issued by Hollis \u0026amp; Carter during this period often appeared in relatively modest print runs, and surviving examples in original dust jackets are becoming increasingly difficult to locate. An appealing acquisition for collectors of post-war British fiction and lesser-known literary first editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1584\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1255\"\u003eThe Estranged Face\u003c\/em\u003e is a psychological novel concerned with identity, personal relationships, and the consequences of past decisions. Through a carefully constructed narrative and nuanced characterisation, Eastwood explores themes of alienation, self-discovery, and emotional conflict, creating a thoughtful study of human behaviour and motivation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568171381075,"sku":"1902-EV-F-VG-9","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/57_ca59bcc5-f74f-47e7-9f0d-a62ca8c37e7f.jpg?v=1765459242","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-estranged-face-catherine-eastwood-1956-unread-1956-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
