About this product
Product Information
In a minute she'd beg me to do anything I could to save the garment. That's what they always did. Begged and pleaded. There was usually a lover involved, and a cheated-upon spouse. I, as the mender, would be saving their life. People had actually said I was worth my weight in gold . . . But it wasn't my skill the clients were grateful for. No. It was my collusion. What lies are worth: their weight in gold. You'd think that mending clothes would be an uneventful, uncomplicated occupation. No drama, no unnecessary explanations, no personal involvement. But people love to talk, and as they make their excuses to GoGo Sligo, of Megan Sligo Mending and Alterations, they reveal the holes in their stories as well. It doesn't take long for GoGo to get to the truth behind the rips and tears they've brought her to fix. As GoGo listens and sews, she realises she is also helping her clients cheat and lie to their husbands and wives. She's covering their tracks so they won't be found out. A five-week blackout brings the city to its knees, and a drama to her doorstep. A lover, a wife, and finally the cheating husband all come to claim a vintage Irish costume that GoGo's been mending. She doesn't want to like the guilty husband, but can't resist being drawn into the enticing web of his deceit, and then into his story of heartbreak and death on the streets of Belfast. To keep him coming back to the blacked-out house and to prolong the telling of his family's story, GoGo pretends the costume isn't finished. As she makes him return to her, day after day, it becomes clear that another kind of spell is being woven, and GoGo must face the truth about herself and her own life and marriage. An intoxicating, entrancing, gripping novel of illicit love, passion and embroidery, told in an inimitable voice by a brilliant writer.

Arrived early in great condition. Price was below average as was the shipping fee. My only issue was that the seller did not respond to my questions before I made the purchase and although I probably still would have made the purchase, it wasn’t exactly what I had hoped it was which I would have known ahead of time should I have received a reply and on hindsight, my question a tad silly anyway. Overall I am content and would buy from this seller again.

Beck - set 5 DVD region 1 US import took a bit longer to arrive than normal. But was well packed and a great price, including delivery, which was further enhanced by ebay's 15% Spring discount offer. Very good condition as described. Although one disc needed cleaning to make it play better. Recommended seller!

The box set of three dvds are just as described, great used condition. The item was well packed and arrived quickly. I have not played the dvds yet, but they all appear to be in good condition, showing no signs of damage. Thanks very much great Ebayer 👍
