Return to Hendre Ddu

Hendre Ddu, the home farm of the Evans family, appears seemingly peaceful. It is now the middle of World War I, however, and this gripping saga reveals that lives have been shattered here as well. This tumultuous sequel to the classic novel A Small Country begins with a crippled Tom Evans returning from the front only to fight another battle—keeping the farmhouse afloat. At first all seems to be going well, but increasingly tangled affairs and financial realities result in heartache and new challenges for the entire family. Weaving character and dialogue, this is an intriguing tale of early 20th-century romance and passion in rural Wales.
