Description

Lives are on the line as the workers fight back in the Welsh countryside…

1829, Wales

For centuries. generations of the Jenkins family have eked out a living from their Carmarthenshire hill farm.

But when a fire destroys virtually all of their possessions the children witness their lives crumbling around them. Mary and William find they have barely enough land left to provide for their basic needs.

Their only option is to take on more work, but William longs for action, and Mary begins to suspect that he has become embroiled with the Rebecca-ites, a shadowy group of nationalists pitted against the English landowners whose tolls have bankrupted so many Welshman.

As tensions mount, Mary becomes ever more torn between her mistrust of the rebels’ violence and her growing attraction to Jac Tŷ Isha, one of their leaders.

And when the British government decides to put a stop to the revolt, the danger to the men she loves increases a hundredfold…

REBECCA’S CHILDREN is a poignant, beautifully crafted saga of love and betrayal, set against the background of Wales in mid-1800s – a country aflame with political and social unrest.

Lives are on the line as the workers fight back in the Welsh countryside…

Good read. With a good inlook into that period. I found the story easy to read and follow. I did find my attention drifting but that may be due to my lack of reading stories from this era and area

Thank you for allowing me to read.
