Title: A treasure
Review: I re-read this book at regular intervals.Each time I do, I can smell thecoalsmoke that hangs over every mining town with many coal-burning stoves and fires.in the writing you can hear the Welsh lilt of the spoken word.Close your eyes and you are in the valleys, with the chapel, and the strong community ties that were once a central part of life.The characters remind me of people who were part of my own childhood.The story presents the perenial struglle for justice and equity that is part of a working person's life.The writing is evocative of "The good old days" that were good despite the poverty inequality and injustice that existed.
