Tregareth

Résumé du livre

'Tregareth' is the first volume in a trilogy of novels entitled "Curve of the Earth", set first in Cornwall, and then in the Australian Cornish community of the Yorke Peninsula.The 'monster' copper mines of Burra, Moonta and Wallaroo operated for three generations of Cornish miners, and produced fabulous wealth that saved the struggling, infant colony of South Australia from financial ruin."Curve of the Earth" follows the complex, sometimes tragic, often joyful lives of two interlinked Cornish families, played out against the sixty years of the great mines' existence.In 'Tregareth' we meet the beautiful Cornish Welsh girl, Glynis, and follow her relations with the Tregareths and Pencarrows. Love, tragedy, industrial strife, and social change create a sweeping saga of fascinating intensity in the harsh setting of 'Munta Munterra', the tribal land of the Naranga people.
