The dust jacket has considerable fading to the spine and front cover, and shows signs of ageing internally. It has a very slight nick to the top of the back panel. (See pictures). The author is a Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, a twice winner of the Booker Prize and winner of numerous other literary awards. This is the third book by this acclaimed author.

A novel set in an unnamed empire, where an imperial magistrate grapples with the moral implications of colonialism and oppression.
