First Snow, Last Light is Wayne Johnston’s sweeping Newfoundland family mystery, beginning when fourteen-year-old Ned Vatcher returns home in 1936 to discover that his parents have vanished. The unanswered disappearance shapes Ned’s life as he searches through family history, secrets and loss, while Johnston’s recurring character Sheilagh Fielding plays an important part in the story. This is the 2017 Alfred A. Knopf Canada hardcover in dust jacket, ISBN 978-0-7352-7256-9. The complete number line includes 1, identifying it as a first printing of the Canadian first edition. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 BMO Winterset Award and was longlisted for the 2019 International Dublin Literary Award. The title page is signed by Wayne Johnston and personally inscribed “For Catherine,” dated Sept. 14, 2017. This is a personalized author inscription rather than a flat signature, and it was dated shortly after the book’s September 2017 publication. Very Good overall, with deckle-edge pages and minor page toning as disclosed. The dust jacket shows light visible edge wear or creasing. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the edition, number line, signature, inscription and representative condition.
