Pontypridd, 1939. Wartime austerity, air-raids, blackouts and tensions strain family and community - for Diana Powell, divided from her beloved Tony Ronconi by a secret, and Wyn Rees, in whom she confides. Also for Jenny, abandoned the day after her wedding and for a small group of English conchies working in the pits, one of whom is fervently loved by Gina Ronconi. As war fever sets in, the Ronconis face internment as 'enemy aliens'.
Then the Allies' retreat at Dunkirk. Some will return, many will not - and for those that do, life will never be the same again.

"I really like this series of books - a good old family saga, but properly written!"
