Irma Voth

This like-new hardcover is near fine, no marks, pages are tight and appear unread, the book is tight, square, and unmarked. Dust cover is unmarked, blue cloth boards, and bright gilt lettering on the spine of the book. Irma Voth is a compelling exploration of the strength required to escape oppressive systems and find one’s voice. The novel has been lauded for its blend of darkness and light, offering hope amid themes of oppression and loss.
