Condition: Poor Condition — £9.72

Poor Condition — £9.72

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.

From the shores of the tiny Comoros Islands, through the resilient streets of Beirut and Dhaka, to the gigantic Middle Kingdom of China;

From Journeys to Words is a collection of personal stories on our journey as expat spouses. We have Bonjour'd, Ni Hao'd, Kemon Achen'd and Salaam Alaikum'd our way through several countries, bypassed some pesky firewalls, ordered food in languages we don't speak, tasted a few quirky meals and survived some dodgy economic and political crises.

Women's Empowerment: Puzzles, quotes & inspiring passages to boost self-esteem, build confidence & harness the strength of feminine energy

These travel tales take you through the thrum (and supposed perks) of expatriate life to bring you anecdotes from, and insights into our day-to-day lives and experiences as 'trailing' wives.We also take a deeper look into the lives of the remarkable, vivacious and eternally optimistic people we have met as well as the enchanting cultures we have been a part of.

Many of these countries may not exactly inspire you to spontaneously book a flight and go visit them but for us, they've been more than temporary homes; they have been barrels of laughter, love, despair, kindness, heartache, panache, resilience and charm that isn't shown on the 9 o'clock news or in a traditional tourist guide.

This book is an ode to all this ... and more.
