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 literary twist on The Secret Garden for fans of Shirley Jackson, Piranesi and Unsettled Ground
'Extraordinary... it already feels like a classic' Emerald Fennell, Oscar-winning director of SALTBURN

____
Nothing had come over the wall for a very long time. ....
In a place and time unknown, two elderly sisters live in a walled garden, secluded from the outside world. For as long as they can remember, Evelyn and Lily have only had each other.
What came before the garden, they have forgotten; what lies beyond it, they do not know.
Each day is spent tending the bees, planting the crops, dutifully following the instructions of the almanac written by their mother.
But then one of them makes a startling discovery.
What if their carefully curated life is an illusion? What if the walls no longer keep them safe?
'Reminiscent of John Wyndham....absolutely exquisite' Daily Mail
'Darkly beautiful... a Gothic, dystopian inversion of The Secret Garden' Good Housekeeping
'A brilliantly drawn folie à deux ... like Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived In The Castle - SFX
