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.

Danielle, young, naïve and idealistic, embarks on her career as an actress, seeking the passion and fulfillment of both love and art, and is inexorably drawn to great drama - on stage and off. Ripe for every kind of experience, she falls passionately in love with a poet, fourteen years her senior, to whom she gives herself, body and soul. She sees him as a 'Greek god', until it transpires that he has a dark secret.
Their love affair explodes around the theatre in Canterbury, and in a run-down cottage on the outskirts of town. But can she love him - and live with the fallout from his secret?What will happen if the barrier falls? An unexpected intrusion takes them, together and separately, to other places...
The novel is a poetic exploration of obsessive first love: the passion and the ecstasy, the pain and despair. It is deeply erotic, complex and disturbing.
It is also a spiritual odyssey... But will it bring redemption?
