Distrust and grievance weren't invited to Lizzie Coombe's 100th birthday tea-party. But they came anyway, bearing cold gifts.
As the vicar turns the neighbours against matriarch Lizzie and her misunderstood family-daughter, granddaughter and untamed great-granddaughter-events and people spiral off beyond nostalgia into a place of superstition.
Trauma and loss haunt the struggle between mother-daughters, daughter-mothers.When home and household is attacked by people Lizzie's known all their lives, is there more to lose than respect? When the attack is from within the family, who is to blame? And when flesh and blood is threatened, can any of these love-starved women be saved...
In the legendary landscape of South Wales, the impacts of love and tragedy on the generations are lived out in moments of grief and tenderness, regret and humour.
A community is defined by its history. But history can be as dry as tinder.
