The Portuguese Escape by Ann Bridge, 1958 First Edition

This is a first edition copy of "The Portuguese Escape" by Ann Bridge, published in 1958 by The Macmillan Company, New York. The novel is set against the backdrop of post-war Europe and reflects the author's experiences as the wife of a British diplomat in several countries, including Hungary and Portugal. The dust jacket, designed by B. Lawrence, remains, though it shows noticeable wear, tears, and chipping along the edges.  The book is in sound structural condition, with no major markings to the text block, but it has an owner's inscription on the front endpaper. The binding is solid, and the spine and front cover feature the title and author's name in print. See photos for Measurements if Measurements were taken.
