The third instalment in Alexander Cordell's magnificent trilogy of nineteenth century Wales that began with The Rape of the Fair Country
Mostyn Evan and his family, miners turned bargees, wage a glorious but hopeless struggle against rapacious coal masters, Irish navvies, the ravages of cholera, and the bullying illegal Unions.
As they ply their trade between the furnaces of Cyfarthfa and the lush beauty of the Neath Valley,they pray and fight, sing and love, and face each obstacle undaunted with all the stubbornness and exuberance of Wales itself.
This is the third instalment in Alexander Cordell's magnificent saga of nineteenth century Wales that began with classic bestseller The Rape of the Fair Country.
