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.

When sixteen-year-old Marianne Flowers is invited to a party in a genteel house she has no idea that the house and what she experiences there - including the stately bathroom - will change her life. Not to mention the boy who introduces her to red wine, sophisticated conversation and an apparently liberated future. But when marriage to Charles turns out to be far from liberating, Marianne finds her escape in literature, and realises there is a whole bright world unfolding before her. How will this new, independently minded Marianne find her place? Mavis Cheek's twelfth novel shows her at the height of her powers in a funny, poignant account of a woman whose journey to freedom, independence and good-quality plumbing will delight fans of her previous work.
