A Sweetheart Deal

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £5.64
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

A brilliant portrayal of a city, its everyday battles and terrors, and the fleeting gestures of love, commitment and friendship that illuminate it all. A young father is given the 'wrong blood' after a train accident, and dies in hospital.A young woman, Mel Holloway, is left unfulfilled by her tough job in a trade union, and her relationship with her ailing boyfriend, her only escape nights out with her irepressible Spanish friend, Pepa. Struggling to inject meaning into her life, Mel throws herself into a case against a major drugs company, whose malpractice, she believes, led to the man's death. To her surprise she finds herself forming a deep attachment to the man's wife, which develops into love. But she is equally unprepared for the betrayals of those she had counted as friends as the company uses its influence to thwart her.
