Farthing: A Story of a World That Could Have BeenFirst published in 2006, Jo Walton's Farthing was hailed as a masterpiece, a darkly romantic thriller set in an alternate postwar England sliding into fascism. Eight years after they overthrew Churchill and led Britain into a separate peace with Hitler, the upper crust families of the Farthing set are gathered for a weekend retreat. Among them is estranged Farthing scion Lucy Kahn, who can't understand why her and her husband David's presence was so

First published in 2006, Jo Walton's Farthing was hailed as a masterpiece, a darkly romantic thriller set in an alternate postwar England sliding into fascism.

Eight years after they overthrew Churchill and led Britain into a separate peace with Hitler, the upper-crust families of the Farthing set are gathered for a weekend retreat. Among them is estranged Farthing scion Lucy Kahn, who can't understand why her and her husband David's presence was so forcefully requested. Then the country-house idyll is interrupted when the eminent Sir James Thirkie is found murdered--with a yellow Star of David pinned to his chest.

Lucy begins to realize that her Jewish husband is about to be framed for the crime--an outcome that would be convenient for altogether too many of the various political machinations underway in Parliament in the coming week. But whoever's behind the murder, and the frame-up, didn't reckon on the principal investigator from Scotland Yard being a man with very private reasons for sympathizing with outcasts and underdogs--and prone to look beyond the obvious as a result.

As the trap slowly shuts on Lucy and David, they begin to see a way out--a way fraught with peril in a darkening world.

Amazing Quality & Price
Color: Black Band and Blue Face, Color: Black Band and Blue Face
Exactly as described. It looks absolutely stunning in person. It's very lightweight. Adjustable metal band with tool for ejecting the pins and band pieces. Movement around my wrist feels great and not pinching my arm hairs. Extremely easy to use and set up. Fits perfectly after making some minor adjustments on the band. Battery life promise of 10 years.

Not bad for a watch under 50 bucks
Color: G2856-all silver, Color: G2856-all silver
Im not sure what material this watch is made of but the band doesn’t sound weird, it doesn’t feel like a very solid watch but it really looks fancy and nice i really like it a lot,plus lets be realistic you can have high expectations for 40 bucks, is the first one I bought from this brand, I would like to buy yhe automatic one that is around 150 but i want to try the cheapest one first and see if i like it or not, so far im happy i will update in some time to see how’s holding up

Elegant and affordable—exceeds expectations.
Color: Black Band and Blue Face
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) A very elegant watch offering excellent value for money. The blue design with gold accents looks modern and eye-catching—ideal for any occasion. The materials feel high-quality, and it keeps time with good precision. As a minor note, some of the sub-dials are decorative, and the strap can be a bit tricky to adjust. Overall, a very good purchase for the price. 👍
