This first-person account of passion, murder, and cultural conflict plays out in the person of the young Ann Goodman, who is torn by the struggle for supremacy in her mixed blood, Welsh and English. In this love story, set in the late 19th century, the rural way of life is no idyll but rather a savage and exacting struggle for survival.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a real country dance,
By jane zaccarini (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Country Dance (Paperback)
this beautiful little book deserves to be up there with the classics;set in the welsh borderlands at the turn of the century it embraces love,death,and racial tensions between celt and anglo-saxon,and culminates in a trajedy that is more reflective and sad than tragic. this gently written book keeps us with its characters forever and leaves us thirsting for more of a kind. sadly margiad evans was not a prolific writer and only seems known in welsh literature, but deserves wider acclaim.
