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.

È il 1850 quando Honor e Grace Bright si imbarcano sull'Adventurer, un grande veliero in partenza dal porto inglese di Bristol per l'America. L'aria smarrita di chi non è avvezza ai viaggi, il bel volto offuscato dal mal di mare, Honor Bright sa che non rivedrà mai più Bridport, il paese in cui è nata, nell'istante in cui la nave si allontana dalle verdi colline del Dorset. Troppo grande è il mare e troppo lontano è Faithwell, il villaggio dell'Ohio in cui Adam Cox, un uomo anziano e piuttosto noioso, attende sua sorella per prenderla in sposa. L'irrequieta Grace ha allacciato una corrispondenza epistolare con lui, culminata poi con la proposta di matrimonio, con l'intento di lasciarsi alle spalle l'angusta vita della piccola comunità di quaccheri in cui è cresciuta e abbracciare così nuove avventure. Honor Bright non condivide lo spirito temerario di Grace, ma Samuel, il suo promesso sposo, ha rotto il fidanzamento e la prospettiva di vivere in mezzo all'altrui compassione l'ha spinta a seguire la sorella al di là del mare. Una volta giunte in Ohio, tuttavia, a un passo da Faithwell, Grace si ammala di febbre gialla e, tra le misere mura di un albergo, muore. Honor Bright si ritrova così sola in una nazione enorme ed estranea, divisa da un immenso oceano dall'amato Dorset. Non le resta perciò che Adam Cox come unica ancora di salvezza. A Faithwell, tuttavia, viene accolta con freddezza dall'uomo e dalla cognata vedova.
