About this listen
The year is 1909, and 15-year-old Rhiannon Hughes and her young stepsister, Mair, find themselves abandoned and alone. They are forced to leave their colliery cottage in the Welsh Valleys and take refuge with Rhiannon’s aunt, Florence Desmond, a popular music hall star.
Rhiannon is instantly dazzled by this glamorous, exciting new world, and by the handsome young master of ceremonies, Gus Davenport. But Mair’s feckless mother, Nellie, unexpectedly returns and lures Mair into Cardiff’s sleazy underworld.
Rhiannon is torn between making a career in the theatre and keeping her promise to Mair, who needs her now more than ever. As for Gus Davenport, who has a reputation as a womaniser - will he prove to be a friend or an enemy?
©2010 Carole Llewellyn (P)2010 SoundingsI listened to this wonderful audio, with the song-song lilting welsh accents, entranced as I travelled down the west coast of Wales by bus. In the final chapter, as I settled into my B&B at Bridgend, I discovered to my amazement, that the book was actually set in the place I was travelling to the very next day on a personal family pilgrimage, Pontycymer (Ponty) where my grandfather was born in the late 1800’s. A very special book indeed. Thank you Carole Llewelyn.
A wonderful Audio - a must “listen to”, if you ever visit Wales.
