Ynys-morlan is in dire need of regeneration and when Ruth discovers that the newcomer to the town, Charlotte, has inherited thirty-three million pounds she suggests they use the money to breathe new life into it. At 999 pages this is not a quick read, but if you want to become totally immersed in an intense story about a community and its people trying to make sense of their lives, and their past, this is the book for you.
