Lauren | 2168 comments First, regarding this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The book description contains grammatical errors. It seems the original blurb from the publisher was not copied over but edited. Please instead use the blurb from the publisher's website (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/boo...), which reads as follows (please note that I have inserted bold and italic HTML formatting, but the extra spaces will need to be removed; please also maintain paragraph breaks):
< b>'Then they proceeded to scan the sky, roving from planet to star, from single stars to double stars, from double to coloured stars...'< /b>

Hardy's atmospheric, moving story of star-crossed lovers shows human beings at the mercy of forces far beyond their control, setting a tragic drama of human passion and conflict against a background of vast stellar space and scientific discovery. < i>Two on a Tower< /i> tells the story of Lady Constantine, who breaks all the rules of decorum when she falls in love with the beautiful youth Swithin St Cleeve, her social inferior and ten years her junior. Together, in an ancient monument converted into an astronomical observation tower, they create their own private universe - until the pressures of the outside world threaten to destroy it.


Second, regarding this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is a paperback copy, not a radio dramatization, so the book description is incorrect and needs to be updated. The Amazon description for this particular ISBN (https://www.amazon.com/Two-Tower-Thom...) isn't helpful, so I would suggest using the above description.

Thank you!

~ivy~ (onceandfutureivy) | 144 comments Done & set as default description. BBC dramatization text was previously set as default and appeared across editions, so this also fixed the second issue.
