★★★★★ "New Condition"
Books in brand new condition — the same quality you would expect when purchasing new from a bookstore.
★★★★☆ "Perfect Condition"
Books that present as brand new, with no marks, stains, or visible wear. Pages may show very slight natural discolouration due to age, but overall appearance remains near-perfect.
★★★☆☆ "Fantastic Condition"
Pre-loved books that remain in excellent reading condition. May show very minor wear to the cover or edges from gentle handling. No spine creases unless specifically noted in the listing.
★★☆☆☆
We specialise exclusively in near-new books. Titles with significant wear, heavy creasing, or noticeable damage are not included in our collection — meaning you won’t find typical worn second-hand copies here.

PAPERBACK EDITION
__________________
France, 1918. In the final days of the First World War, a young Chinese woman, Pauline Deng, runs away from her uncle’s home in Paris to evade a marriage being arranged for her in Shanghai. To prevent the union, she needs the help of her cousin Theo, who is working as a translator for the Chinese Labour Corps in the French countryside. In the town of Noyelles-sur-Mer, Camille Roussel is planning her escape from an abusive marriage, and to end a love affair that can no longer continue. When Camille offers Pauline a room for her stay, the two women become friends. But it’s not long before Pauline uncovers a perilous secret that Camille has been hiding from her. As their dangerous situation escalates, the two women are forced to make a terrible decision that will bind them together for the rest of their lives.
Set against the little-known history of the 140,000 Chinese workers brought to Europe as non-combatant labor during WWI, The Porcelain Moon is a tale of forbidden love, identity and belonging, and what we are willing to risk for freedom.
