5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!, July 5, 2006

Barbara Good (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Newfoundland (Paperback)

Nothing will ever be the same again for the residents of a small Welsh community after the arrival of a wealthy American who offers to use her money to transform their down-trodden town. As they watch the pubs, cafes, houses and shops that hold their memories being dismantled and rebuilt, the locals find their lives unravelling. Ray deals with issues of home, consumerism, domestic violence, the family and relationships in this detailed epic that reads like poetry. I stayed up half the night reading it many a time, wishing it was longer than the 1000 pages and finishing it felt like losing a friend! Brilliant.
