'I warn you, and it is a solemn warning. Leave me, and you - and who ever you run to - will suffer. I have a husband's rights under God's law: and those whom God has joined together let no man break asunder. ' It is 1905 and in Pontypridd and the Rhondda, coal is king and the families who sank the first collieries are rich. Though no one is wealthier than Harry Watkin Jones. At 20, his daughter Sali is about to marry businessman Mansel in Pontypridd's wedding of the year. But tragedy follows tragedy, and four short and traumatic years later, Sali becomes a penniless outcast fleeing from a violent husband and struggling to support herself and her son in a world very different to the one she once knew. When she becomes housekeeper to a family of colliers, Sali finds herself denying her roots, her class and sacrificing her son's future to be with the people she has come to love.

reviewed Beggars and choosers on April 23, 2009 Beggars and choosers
This was my first book of Catrin's. I wasn't sure what to think of the book when I picked it from the library but I'm glad I read it but it was SOOO good. poor Sali :( but I'm glad her and Harry went home at the end of the book back to Evans :D. The book really pulled me in. My favorite part of the book is when she started to work for the Evan's family. It was so awful what happened to Sali before with Owen and with Mansel :(. Owen was so curel and just not nice, I don't like him :-(. I was really surprised what happened to Mansel, that was so sad how he died like that. :( But I liked the end of he story, I'm glad Sali is there to say, even if Lloyd said she should go back! I felt so sad when she went back to Pontypridd. ;( "now he sensed that she was saying goodbye to him" ;(. "Lloyd felt as though he had just lost the woman he loved more than everyone else on earth" Two quotes I find sad to read, so heartbreaking.;( I really liked Sali and Lloyd. Lloyd is such a great guy! :-D I can't wait to read the other books of the series. =)
