Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet - Signed First UK Edition

A first edition, first printing of The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie, published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1999. A near fine copy, signed and dated by the author on the half-title page, free from internal inscriptions or marks, with clean, bright pages and a firm binding. In a near fine unclipped dust wrapper, showing only light handling wear, with colours strong and no tears or loss.

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is Rushdie’s seventh novel, a reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set against the backdrop of late twentieth-century global culture, blending music, mythology, and alternate histories. Written during a pivotal period in Rushdie’s career, it is widely regarded as one of his most ambitious later works and forms part of the core run of signed modern Rushdie first editions.
