The Captain's Wife (Honno's Welsh Women's Classics)
Description:
Lettice Peters is a captain's wife who has traveled the world on her husband's ships but has now settled with her children in the little cathedral town of St Idris in Pembrokeshire. The coastline, farms, saint-haunted hills, cathedral, and market cross of the village that boasts itself a city are unforgettably evoked in this atmospheric and poignant novel. Written during the World War II, The Captain's Wife looks back nostalgically on a period, 60 years before, when the rhythms of traditional Welsh culture were still intact, though losses and tragedies were still a part of women's daily lives.
