Constance Harding's Rather Startling Year

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £29.72
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 comic gem" (Alexander McCall Smith) about a housewife who kisses her chintz and her cheating husband goodbye

Constance Harding lives in a picture perfect house. She is, however, absolutely clueless about the real world, e.g.,

*why her twenty-five-year-old son still hasn't found a nice girl,

*why her Lithuanian housekeeper's thongs keep turning up in her husband's study, and

*why her teenage daughter is dressed in head-to-toe spandex . . .
When disaster strikes, she flees her comfortable nest. Constance is about to discover a wider world she thought it was too late to find. And she's putting it all in her blog-thingy.
