Published by Jonathan Cape in London in 1959, this scarce first edition hardback volume—complete with its original dust jacket—stands as a brilliant example of post-war Australian realism and character-driven fiction.\n\nThe narrative provides a gripping, atmospheric snapshot of its formidable protagonist, Andrea Caslin, tracking her rise from a difficult youth to a position of immense financial influence and authority in a male-dominated world. Blending elements of modern fiction and dramatic family romance, Mann expertly dissects the themes of cold-blooded ambition, revenge, and the complex psychological underpinnings of human relationships. This vintage copy is exceptionally well-preserved, featuring an unmarked interior, tight binding, and clean, bright pages. Safely housed in its original dust jacket, which shows authentic vintage wear and fading without any tears and is further protected by a preservation mylar sleeve, this price-clipped volume is an essential acquisition for collectors of vintage Australian literature and classic 1950s first editions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820234879195,"sku":"2026200006440-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/24ae2a7b-9708-41f1-8dca-f136da2803d7.png?v=1780055062","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006440-secondhand-andrea-caslin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
