Synopsis:

In a Celtic Twilight of poetry and pictures, one woman struggled to overcome her innocence. Born in a mock-gothic castle to a charismatic charlatan and a beautiful heiress, Justina's idyllic Victorian childhood was only distantly shadowed by the Boer War. But her golden youth spent on the coast of Scotland and in the great houses of Ireland, was soon to be shattered by the urgent realities of the Twentieth Century. Justina and her generation dreamt of love, of fame, of fulfilment: but violence loomed - first in France, in 1914, then in Dublin in 1916. An artist, a feminist, a woman of passion and pride, Justina Bride Melrose's story mirrors the story of modern European history… Alison Scott Skelton brilliantly portrays an indomitable Woman's search for truth, honour and greatness as the guns boom - and innocence fails.

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
