NOTHING TO PAY di Caradoc Evans
Dylan Thomas praised Evan's book with out let-up. H. G.

My People di Caradoc Evans
This is a great book. It is a collection of stories about the lives of working people in Wales in the early 1900's. The culture is dominated by the religion which is very patriarchal, autocratical & harsh. The stories dramatize the situation of women, who are treated as beasts of burden and breeders. It shows how people's lives are stunted by the poverty and the religion and the ignorance. I'm sure all life wasn't always like this but there is an essential truth here.

My People di Caradoc Evans
Biblical and harsh. Definitely worth reading, even if just a story or two.
