How Green Was My Valley

Om boken

Growing up in a mining community in rural South Wales, Huw Morgan is taught many harsh lessons—at the kitchen table, at Chapel and around the pit-head. Looking back on the hardships of his early life, where difficult days are faced with courage but the valleys swell with the sound of Welsh voices, it becomes clear that there is nowhere so green as the landscape of his own memory. Poetic and nostalgic, it is an elegy to a lost world. 'Vivid, eloquent, poetical, glowing with an inner flame of emotion' — The Times Literary Supplement
