A poignant and beautifully layered exploration of youth and emotional awakening, A Minor Portrait is a compelling mid-century novel by acclaimed Australian author G. M. Glaskin. Published by Barrie Books in London in 1957, this hardback vintage volume—complete with its original dust jacket—stands as an exceptional piece of post-war modern fiction. The plot weaves an atmospheric, character-driven narrative centered on a young protagonist navigating the shifting social mores and cultural complexities of the era. Infused with a delicate touch of romance, Glaskin masterfully captures the subtle friction between innocence and experience, making the story both deeply reflective and emotionally resonant. This vintage copy is preserved in good condition, featuring a clean, unmarked interior and good page condition, housed in a very good dust jacket that retains its authentic mid-century charm. It is a highly desirable acquisition for collectors of classic Australian literature, mid-century fiction, and stories exploring the profound depths of human relationships.
