Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers
Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

A 'Writer's Review' BOOK OF THE YEAR - "Engaging, perceptive and compassionate, this is a novel that’s hard to put down."
1953. Viola is three. The young Queen of England is being crowned on a television in the corner of the room. Tubby little Viola gazes out at the party guests in this fancy London house, already alert to human drama.
This is a genteel family in gentle crisis as they have to move from a large house to a tiny flat. Viola’s Anglo-Indian mother hoped for much more from life, while her father gets involved in ghosting the memoir of a chorus girl who married a millionaire. Viola burrows into the adventures of storybooks and battles her three older brothers for attention. A decade passes, and Viola finds friendship and danger among the old and the young. 1950s London with its bomb sites, air raid shelters and attitudes to gender, race, class and sex is vividly present. When I Was provides a delicious, memorable portrait of the writer as a young girl.
