A scarce and collectible first edition by renowned South African author Joy Packer. The Man in the Mews (1964) showcases Packers deft storytelling and her sharp eye for setting and suspense. This edition is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th century fiction and South African literature.
When Charlotte Lennox, a recently widowed South African woman, relocates to London in hopes of a fresh start, she finds herself drawn into the secrets of a quiet cul-de-sac known as "the Mews." What begins as a quiet life soon tangles her in a mystery involving hidden pasts, veiled identities, and dangerous entanglements. With themes of displacement, belonging, and resilience, Joy Packer crafts a novel that is as psychologically astute as it is thrilling.
