You work hard for your money and deserve to be satisfied with your purchase! ***NOTES ON CONDITION*** Overall condition: Good (missing dust jacket is the only reason it’s not very good) Tight binding with all pages firmly intact book shows minimal wear, and the cover boards are remarkably clean with only very faint signs of handling and rubbing along the edges in corners. The outer spine has faded somewhat however that text on the outer spine still sharply contrast against the cloth. The book is free of writing and highlighting except for a short note on the very first inside page dated 1963 as well as a small sticker on that same page next to the inscription that is 1“ x 1.75inches in size. There are no issues at all with the book pages or binding. There is faint age discoloration but no more than you would expect for a book that is 65 years old. The book does not have cigarette smoke damage and has a neutral odor. There are a few very small and faint spots on a couple pages toward the top and contained within the margin, it’s hardly noticeable and you probably wouldn’t have noticed had not just pointed it out. There are no issues with this book that affect its readability. “Psyche 59” by Françoise des Ligneris is a psychological novel centered on complex family relationships, emotional control, and personal transformation. Set in France, the narrative explores the life of Mahaut, a woman navigating the intricacies of her marriage and family life while coping with blindness. As the story unfolds, themes of dependency, hidden desires, and the struggle for autonomy come to the forefront, leading the protagonist on a journey toward emotional liberation. The novel blends intense emotional exploration with a subtle undercurrent of mystery, focusing on the dynamics between the main characters and their interpersonal conflicts. It is a thoughtful meditation on personal freedom and psychological resilience without straightforward resolutions.
