Zusammenfassung:"In the luscious countryside of Carmarthenshire an idyllic landscape habours dark secrets. Following four years of constant terror on the battlefields of World War One, English soldier, Captain Dick Einon-Thomas, is overjoyed to find he has inherited a country estate in Wales. His good fortune comes at the expense of others, however. The property of cousins killed in battle, Plas Einon is entailed upon the nearest male heir and in order to take possession Dick must turn his spinster cousin Gwenllian out of her home. Having managed the estate singlehandedly during the war, Gwenllian is not about to give up her beloved house, her perceived inheritence and her duty to her 'race' without a fight. In the darkest and most disturbing of her novels, Hilda Vaughan examines relationships with property, tradition and inheritence and explores the lengths to which the dispossessed Welsh woman must go in order to regain what has been taken from her"--Back cover
