Such a nice and interesting book. I loved the way the chapters were arranged, and though they were short they were the right length to cover the topic. I did not really like the last chapter, I thought that was out of place - a summary of some photos, and some other photos of unknown people, and notes on how the people are only meaningful as long as someone recognizes them.

But overall it was a really nice picture of life in Wales, an nice mix of the author's childhood and stories of his father and grandfather, with reasonable consciousness of the present and future and changes without making that the focus. Very enjoyable.… (altro)
