I enjoyed the continuing story in the Cornish Clay Sagas. This is book 2.
A story that starts in one Spring and ends in the next.
A tale of the clay business around St Austell. Morwen from a clay worker family now happily married to Ben, the clay business owner and how they have not yet been successful in having children after 4 years of marriage.
Old tin mine workings collapse sending a train full of clay workers and their families into a hole in the ground. Only one death, Sam, Morwen’s brother. His wife dies of measles shortly after so M&B become guardians of their three children.
Morwen’s long lost brother gets in touch from California explaining his new found fortune and sends a large sum of money to his parents. They use this to buy into the clay company that was at risk following the train disaster.
Ends with Morwen giving birth to a baby boy, Jeremy.
