Aspects of Love (1955) (David Garnett) (Angelica Garnett)

Garnett’s tale follows Alexis, a young soldier, who falls in love with Rose, only for her later to marry his uncle. Set against a backdrop of picturesque European locales like Southern France, Italy, and Paris, it captures the transient and often turbulent nature of human relationships. The novel would later inspire Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation in 1989, where the song “Love Changes Everything” became a popular hit.

Condition: Dust-wrapper has a half-inch closed tear to top right corner of front panel, with faint spotting to front and rear panels and interior.
