Condition: Standard Secondhand — £5.08
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.

Summer 1795: Roger Ellis is a newly promoted naval lieutenant who finds himself unexpectedly beached on shore and unable to secure a new berth. When Roger, a keen student of modern philosophy, and especially the European philosophy of enlightenment, is obliged to stay in London to be close to the Admiralty, he finds it hard to settle into a society which he sees as louche and self-centred. So, when he is encouraged by his friends to take a break from the city, he happily returns to his home village of Canewdon, an isolated place set deep within the Essex marshes, from whence he left at the age of twelve to go to sea.

Roger soon finds that the village is not quite as idyllic as he remembers, but when he reconnects with Elizabeth Saunders, a childhood friend now grown to be a beautiful but slightly wild young woman, it begins to look like this summer may be one of the most memorable of his life. As the weeks fly by Roger is drawn ever further into a hitherto unknown and totally unsuspected world of romance, superstition, sexuality, and danger that may well change his life forever.

John Pitman's debut novel, a rumbustious tale of love, adventure, and general naughtiness set against a backdrop of food shortages and civil unrest, mischievously suggests some of the lengths that country folk might have been prepared to go to in order to ensure a successful harvest...
