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.

This is a vivid and compelling story of love, war and secrets, set against the backdrop of WWI France. When Iris, a widow who spends her days worrying about her granddaughter, Grace, is invited to attend a reunion, she's transported back to the past: a time when, as a young woman, she followed her 15-year-old brother, Tom, to France, intending to bring him home. While in France, she meets the charismatic Miss Ivens, who runs a field hospital in the old abbey of Royaumont, north of Paris. Iris decides to stay at Royaumont, and it's there that she discovers her passion for medicine, makes friends with the vivacious Violet and falls in love. But when tragedy strikes, Iris has to pay a terrible price.
