The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
*This copy is in good condition: shelf-worn, but solid. It looks like someone's favorite volume, read and re-read. There is some dirt on the cover and top and bottom of the spine is creased and worn. Cover has bumped corners and the bottom edge is worn. The deckled edges are somewhat ragged, but the top edge gold is still shiny. The pages are intact, unmarked and bright.
April's Sowing is a novel written by Gertrude Hall and published in 1900.
Summary from Amazon:
Love, art, and freedom collide in a woman’s journey to find herself.
In a tale set against intimate rooms, quiet studios, and delicate social pressures, a young woman named Nelly faces the pull of desire, duty, and self-creation. As she navigates affection and expectations, she learns what it means to own her choices and to dream beyond the limits others set for her.
Through conversations that skim the edge of danger and moments of quiet introspection, this book explores courage, loss, and the transforming power of love. The story unfolds with mood, texture, and a keen eye for how beauty, memory, and resolve shape a woman’s path.
- Atmospheric domestic scenes that illuminate character and feeling
- A portrait of a relationship built on trust, temptation, and growth
- Themes of personal reinvention, art, and the cost of freedom
- Rich historical detail paired with intimate, lyrical prose
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven romances set in a vivid, turning point moment of a woman’s life.
