Society of Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ) A powerful story of romance, suspense and mystery. In old-age, Kate is a strong and resourceful woman respected by all who know her, but she didn't start out like that, born into the poverty and unfairness of her society.
The newspaper headline, Body Found in Well, shocks her to her core. For fifty-three years she'd believed Dudley, her brother-in-law and the man who ruined her life, was alive - somewhere - and still able to threaten her very existence and that of her family. But now, finally, here was the truth. He was murdered, of that she had no doubt. But who had killed him? Was it Tom, her husband? Did he know her secret? For her own sanity she had to find out.
But everyone from that time is dead. And so, her quest starts as she relives her life in the troubled times of the early 20th century in the Welsh mining valleys where coal was king and miners fought for their basic human rights against fearsome mine owners resulting in a society reduced to extreme poverty and suffering.
Through it all, she knows there must be clues in her life, something she hadn't seen before. She settles back in her armchair, closes her eyes and relives her life going back to her childhood to find out what made her the woman she became and shaped her to react to Dudley in the way she did - and the consequences that engulfed her. A powerful story, well written and evocative ... I smelt the coal dust, felt the cold in winter and sympathized with the characters. I felt shock. A good read.
