Spinner's Wharf

By Iris Gower

From the ashes of the war, can love blossom?

Rhian Grey left her home in Sweyn’s Eye to make a life for herself in Yorkshire, where she learnt the skills of spinning and weaving. She also learnt to love Mansel Jack, a charismatic and ambitious mill-owner.

When Rhian returns to Sweyn’s Eye, it is to a town torn apart by anxiety and uncertainty, by the devastation of the Great War, a town whose worker’s lives are governed by fear.

Amidst the anguish and dedication of the women who were left behind, Rhian must decide where her own future lies – in respectable marriage to Heath Jenkins, her former sweetheart – or in the arms of Mansel Jack.

A deeply-touching, heart-wrenching tale set in South Wales at the beginning of the century, perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Pam Howes and Rosie Goodwin.
