"A world of green: a new and weird world of grim, dark shadows and
frenzied activity; of conflicting sounds varying from the roar and
thunder of overhead gantries, the sharp, shrill staccato beat of
automatic hammers, to the echoing ring of steel upon steel, and the
hollow wheezing and thumping of the hydraulic moulding
machines".Starting as an apprentice at Bevan's foundry, Ieuan
Morgan enters a new and testing world. His colleagues soon turn out
to be his tormentors while life at home is not without its
challenges. It is hard for the young man to sustain his dreams of
one day being a writer, and of a better world. Things have to get
worse before getting better so unemployment casts its long shadow
over the town. But the lay-offs give the gifted Ieuan time to read
and think and on a visit to the fair to meet Sally, a gentle,
consumptiveyoung woman from the wrong side of the tracks.With this,
his destiny changes course. Written with a deep authenticity born
from bitter experience, William Glynne-Jones depicts life in the
fictional town of Abermor and especially the daily grind of foundry
life, in a workplace fraught with dangers. Farewell Innocence is a
heartfelt and affecting account of a young man's rites of passage
in hard times.
