Plucking the Apple

Sehr deutliche Lager-/Transportspuren (Kratzer, Knicke, abgestoßene Ecken, hinten am Cover ist ein Kaffefleck und ein großer Knick über die Seite), deutlich nachgedunkeltes Papier. Gelesen ist das Buch nicht, was man an den fehlenden Leserillen sehen kann.

Casting a cool eye over the proceedings is Ginevra, Victoria ´s intellectual but plain university friend. Her fathomless exes absorb the subtle nuances at work under the conversational hum, but not even she can foresee the shocking events about to unfold - and just as well...
