Chernobyl Strawberries: A Memoir
Share
Vesna Goldsworthy breezed through life a top student at Belgrade University, a presenter of a fashionable radio program, a poet who performed her work to a crowd of 30,000 people, a member of the Yugoslav League of Communists, a descendant of one of the fiercest Montenegrin tribes, and, perhaps more than anything else, a pampered child of the Serbian middle class. In 1986, at the age of 24, she left Yugoslavia for London to marry an Englishman she had met at the Karl Marx Institute in Bulgaria two years previously. She had no doubt that she would be just as good at being English. At the BBC World Service, where she worked for seven years, she broadcast news bulletins about her own country's bloody dissolution and learnt, faced with the ghosts of her childhood amid the rubble, that she could still tell her side simply by how much it hurt.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
