This Sweet And Bitter Earth

Bok av Alexander Cordell
The men of the North Wales slate quarries lived dangerous, unhealthy and underpaid lives; as a boy Toby Davies joined them. The quarries taught himprecious truths about poverty and exploitation, but Toby also learned of love from the two beautiful women in his life - Bron and Nanwen O'Hara. Toby moved south to seek work in the coal mines, but found no easier future.He was there at the notorious Tonypany riots of 1910 and the police occupationof the Rhondda, and would never forget the savagery of the battles fought betweenthe workers and the bosses.
