Description
D’ARTAGNAN BOOKS This is a signed first edition in good condition. It was published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2003. ' Family is a powerful force. It’s only when you don’t have one that you realise how strong the bonds truly are. Michael, Jean, and Steph all have learned this the hard way. Michael, abandoned as a child, steals from churches just to make ends meet in his low-rent apartment. Jean lives as a lonely caretaker, watching over vast houses while their rich owners are away. Steph is pregnant and trapped in an abusive relationship. However, in an instant, a life can change forever. When Steph leaves her boyfriend, she finds a home and then a family with Michael, who is overjoyed. Meanwhile, Jean grows more and more comfortable in her current residence, taking proxy ownership rather than facing mandatory retirement. She begins telling stories of a son and soon places an ad in search of one. When Michael realises what she is up to, he and Steph move in with her, and the three form an ad-hoc family. But reality is never far in this familial fantasy, and it is about to come calling. ' This is a 1st Edition / 1st Printing (The number string is: 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2).

The packaging was so secure that you'd be better off trying to break into Fort Knox. But on a serious note, this Seller went above and beyond with communication and making a deal with other items being sold together, you can't beat the value. Items were as described. And for shipping from another country, it was so fast that most sellers in the United States unless they overnight shipped it they would be hard pressed to compete with this Seller! I would highly recommend this seller to anyone!

This seller is one of the best I have bought from (I have 4500 books! The book is better than described & looks like new. It was delivered within 48 hours in superb packaging which ensured it couldn't be damaged during transport. In addition to free postage, the seller offered a reduced purchase price which made the book even better value for money. The customer service was also excellent which is rare for second-hand booksellers nowadays. Very highly recommended as always!

Wow this seller is stellar! I can not believe how great the conditions of this book came in. Just absolutely perfect! The shipping was quite fast and the package was wrapped with the best keen eye. It was absolutely worth the value. The book came exactly as described by the seller if not better in my opinion. And the seller was great at answering questions I had about the book. It is my best purchase by far in this platform.
