Laughter, tragedy, brutality, murder, envy, and love-all in one compelling novel about the ups and downs of South Wales village life. . . Set during a time when preachers and deacons were relinquishing control of crime and punishment to the constabulary and the courts, and there were many more ponies and traps in evidence than automobiles, the story focuses on Blaentawe, a fictional South Wales village. The slant, the welfare hall, and the village businesses figure prominently, as do gypsies, tramps, and ladies who call each other 'dahling.' Many of the events revolve around a central character, Evan ap Evan, an ex-master carpenter from the London Docks who inherits a grocery, a bakery, stables, and a mine and assumes the mantle of a moral and temporal lay leader in the district. Take a step back in time with A Cambrian Kaleidoscope-a deeply moving and entertaining debut novel.
