For the first time in paperback, the culminating novel of Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Jo Walton's stunning Small Change trilogy.
Following the award-winning Farthing and its sequel Ha'penny, Half a Crown is an amazing alternate-world noir tale of resistance to encroaching fascism, from the author of Among Others.

In 1941 the European war ended in the Farthing Peace, a rapprochement between Britain and Nazi Germany. The balls and banquets of Britain's upper class never faltered, while British ships ferried undesirables across the Channel to board the cattle cars headed east.

Peter Carmichael is commander of the Watch, Britain's distinctly British secret police. It's his job to warn the Prime Minister of treason, to arrest plotters, to discover Jews. The midnight knock of a Watchman is the most dreaded sound in the realm.

Now, in 1960, a global peace conference is convening in London, where Britain, Germany, and Japan will oversee the final partition of the world. Hitler is once again on British soil. So is the long-exiled Duke of Windsor--and the rising gangs of British Power streetfighters, who consider the Government soft, may be the former king's bid to stage a coup d'etat.

Amidst all this, two of the most unlikely persons in the realm will join forces to oppose the fascists: a debutante whose greatest worry until now has been where to find the right string of pearls, and the Watch Commander himself.
A literary Guernica--a top-notch thriller set in a terrified Britain that is all too willing to trade freedom for security, and which gets neither. --Cory Doctorow on Ha'penny

Nice room divider
Product as described although it took me some time to assemble it. Sturdy, I used it to create a small space for myself as office to work from home in the living room. So that I no longer need to worry about my background when I am in zoom call when working remotely.

Not easy to put together
It worked sort of. It was not easy to put together and has lots of gaps, but it did add a little division in the room.

Light weight and large privacy screen
Color: Black, Color: Black
The privacy screen is light weight and of great quality. The screen can block sight and also is easy to set up. It screen is sturdy and stable. It is a cheap solution for separating paces in rooms. The privacy screen is of black color and good good in many places. It can be folded when not used and does not take much space for storage.

Great divider!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This was really easy to set up and really works to decide the room. The material is dark enough that you have your privacy. Good for the price
