Synopsis

Set in the fictitious Welsh village of Mwntseison in the mid nineteenth century, “Torn Sails” centres around the relationships between Hugh Morgan, Gwladys Price, Mari “Vone” and Ivor Parry. A tale of intertwined and unrequited love, this charming story explores the customs, superstitions, and daily life of a typical Welsh village 200 years ago. An enjoyable tale full of idyllic rural descriptions, gripping melodrama, and social analysis that will appeal to fans of Victorian literature. Anne Adalisa Beynon Puddicombe (1836–1908), also known under her pen name Allen Raine, was a Welsh best-selling writer whose novels had sold over two million copies by 1912. Other notable works by this author include: “Hearts of Wales” (1905), “Queen of the Rushes” (1906), and “Neither Storehouse nor Barn” (1908). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with an introductory biography by Daniel Lleufer Thomas.

MWNTSEISON. Between two rugged hills, which rose abruptly from the clear, green waters of Cardigan Bay, the Gwendraeth, a noisy little river, found its way from the moors above to the sands which formed the entrance from the sea to the village of Mwntseison. In the narrow valley, or cwm, through which the fussy little streamlet ran, the whole village lay. It looked like nothing more than a cluster of white shells left by the storm in a chink of the rocks, the cottages being perched in the most irregular confusion wherever sufficient space could be found between the rocky knolls for a house and garden.
