Review
"Harry is a very likable character and the author easily takes you from laughter to tears in the turn of a page. I would definitely recommend it - this is a captivating read." (YOURS Fiction Special, 6 July )

Product Description
Harry's early years were blighted by a brutal stepfather. But when he was five, his mother finally met and married a decent man, a coal miner and passionate believer in workers' rights. Loved by his new family, Harry embraced their socialism and even considered rejecting his inheritance from the family he never knew. Harry graduates from Oxford with dreams of becoming an artist but when he returns to Pontypridd he finds that his beloved 'grandfather', ex-miner Billy Evans, has lung disease and, when Billy is sent to a sanatorium in the Welsh Hills, the only one free to accompany him is Harry. There Harry meets two very different women: Diana, a beautiful, feminist medical student; and Mary, an illiterate, orphaned farmer's daughter fighting to keep her family together. Harry falls in love - only to suffer rejection - and for the first time learns about life, love and the responsibility that comes with inherited wealth . . .

Format:Paperback
Many modern authors write one or two good books and I buy them and then find that their later books are 'rather churned out and disappointing'. Catrin Collier is the complete opposite. Her books just get better and better. This book is brilliant. It is a great follow on to the earlier books in the series about Sali and her family. This one tells the story of Sali's son Harry and portrays in detail some stark realities of life in Wales at the time. Life for Mary has a fairy tale ending in this lovely story but I was left feeling ashamed to be Welsh thinking of all the other 'Marys' whose life did not have a 'prince' like Harry. Keep the great books coming Catrin please!
