A small country de Siân James
The story of the well-to-do Evans family in Carmarthenshire, Wales begins in the summer of 1914 when son Tom returns from Oxford to find his father has gone to live with his pregnant lover. The wonderful writing is beautifully evocative of rural Wales and of the passion enveloping each character. Reminiscent of Thomas Hardy's stories. Highly recommended.
