About This Book

A poignant coming-of-age story narrated by Huw Morgan as he looks back on his youth in a South Wales coal-mining village. The novel explores the dissolution of a tight-knit community and the decline of the once-lush valley due to industrialization and environmental decay. It captures the struggles of the Morgan family against labor disputes, poverty, and the loss of their traditional way of life.
