Read Now Download Now
Every day a girl in Bess’s class gets beaten for using Welsh; for using their own tongue.’

Life in 1860’s Carmarthen is precarious, riven by divides of language, politics and religion. Bess Morgan’s choices are limited, for all that she was educated with Magistrate Davies’ daughter. Her only options are working as a dairymaid or a shop assistant. When her mother is carted away to the newly built asylum, after the birth of yet another baby, Bess wonders whether if she marries, she might she suffer the same problems. She yearns to continue her education, resentful that the idea is laughable. Reformers demand votes for men, but not for women, and even wealthy girls are barred from university.

Handsome Richard Morgan hates the flattery and fawning required of a draper's apprentice. He too longs to study then teach . Besotted by Magistrate Davies’ flirtatious daughter; he must find a way to marry a girl way above his station in life.

Can Bess and Richard escape the class constraints of Victorian Wales? Coal is king and the Welsh valleys boom, as Carmarthen stagnates.

A stand-alone sequel set 20 years after ‘From Waterloo to Water Street,’ the novel explores the realities of life in Wales and London in the 1860’s and 70’s. Meticulously researched, it is based on the real lives of the next generation of S E Morgan's ancestors.
