Hidden Lives

One of the richest and truest evocations of life in a working class home in the Rhondda that I have read. Sympathy, deep perceptions of the inner lives of people, sensitivity to the influence on individuals of the extended family and life of the street...and expertise in the managing of ideas. Wonderfully successful in putting flesh on the dry bones of History. Ieuan Gwynedd Jones, Emeritus Professor of Welsh History, Aberystwyth
