The sixth and final volume in the Sweyn's Eye saga, set in Swansea in the early years of the 20th century. Against the background of the 1926 General Strike, it features the conflict that divided the families of the town for generations.
Mary Jenkins had dragged herself up from humble beginnings--first to be overseer in the Canal Street laundry, then to run her own market stall in Sweyn's Eye. But constantly fate--and the Sutton brothers--knocked her down again. Dean Sutton was prepared to set her up in a shop of her own, but only at his price, while Brandon Sutton threatened to destroy her with a love neither of them could control. But Mary was a fighter, determined to win whatever the odds, however great the sacrifice.
