Despite its physical comforts, Jennie's life under the critical eye
of her tyrannical mother is hard, and she grows up desperate for a
love she has been denied. As she blossoms into a young woman World
War II breaks out. Life is turned upside down by the vagaries of
war, and the charming, urbane Charles comes into her life - and he
loves her ... doesn't he? ... On the other side of the scarred
mountain, in the wake of a disaster that tears through his family
and their tight-knit mining community, Harry finds the burden of
manhood abruptly thrust upon his young shoulders. He bears it
through the turmoil of the Depression years, sustained only by his
love for Megan. But his life too takes many unexpected turns, and
the onset of war brings unimaginable changes. ... Nothing is as it
was, or as it seems ... Blaenavon and Abergavenny surge to life in
this vibrant, haunting, joyful masterpiece - a celebration of the
Welsh people from the 1920s to the 1940s. It's the saga of two
families and their communities, and the story of two young people
who should have found each other much sooner. It's the story of the
people of the mountains and the valleys who formed the beating
heart of Wales. The Mountains Between immediately became a regional
best-seller. Now in its 3rd edition, it was author Julie McGowan's
first book, and is based in her much-loved homeland of Wales. Her
second book, Just One More Summer, is a wonderfully intricate read
based in Cornwall, while her newly-released third book, Don't Pass
Me By, is also a Welsh spectacular.
