A 160 page coming of age set in the Black Mountains by Diana Powell.
About | Farmers daughter Beth is a child of nature, unschooled and utterly at one with the mountains she lives on. But change is coming. A reservoir is being built in the next valley and her brother Daniel is among the young men who go to fight on the Western Front. When Daniel goes 'missing in action', Beth's mother turns to religion and her father to silence, while Beth seeks comfort from the mountain, where she tends to the farm's sheep. |
