Cranstal Jones stands behind her bedroom curtains, gazing out at little graves, struggling to keep her sanity while trying to appease the ’fair folk’ and understand why loss keeps coming for her. Lili Morgan plots to leave home for Edwardian London, but is thwarted by a vicious attack which sends lasting ripples through her community. Even as her attacker, Twm Gethin, claims he cannot tell a lie, he becomes a dangerous master of omission whose own heart will also break on the rocky coast.Watching over everyone, grandmother and granddaughter midwives-the Dafydds- tend to birth, death, and everything in between, keeping to their craft even as modern medicine eclipses ancient practices. And when a young child goes missing, the entire village wonders where the truth is hidden. THE WAY BEAUTY COMES APART is a transportive, magical, and yet grittily realistic account of life, death, and beyond. Join the entangled people of Nefin who love and loathe one another as they navigate what it is to be human-and sometimes horrible.
