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.

Jeune infirmière, Jennifer Worth décide, dans les années 50, de parfaire sa formation de sage-femme auprès des soeurs d'un couvent anglican qui soignent les pauvres des quartiers des docks de l'East-End. "Appelez la sage-femme" est le récit de cet apprentissage, sa rencontre avec ces soeurs, toutes plus extraordinaires les unes que les autres, alors qu'elle-même ne croit pas en Dieu. C'est aussi une formidable description de ces quartiers déshérités du Londres d'après-guerre, de la misère, mais aussi de l'espoir et de la solidarité. Jennifer Worth y trace de magnifiques portraits des femmes qu'elle accouche, récits toujours émouvants, parfois teintés d'humour ou de tragédie. Un témoignage bouleversant d'humanité.
