THE UNBROKEN BEAUTY OF ROSALIND BONE - ALEX MCC...

'Small Things Like These meets Under Milk Wood - this slim but devastating novel captures an
entire village  an entire world  and the many ways in which a woman can be trapped. A real
gem.' RUTH GILLIGAN  author of The Butchers A wonderful novella  full of atmosphere and
feeling' SARA BAUME  author of A LINE MADE BY WALKING 'Beautiful  incredibly painterly and full
of breathtaking details. A devastating portrait of a particular place  which draws you in with
its brutality and beauty' CARYL LEWIS  author of DRIFT 'Incredibly assured  carefully observed
full of heart. A quietly devastating read which lingers long after the final page' JAN CARSON 
author of THE RAPTURES _____________ Tucked into the Welsh valleys and encircled by silver
birch and pine  the village of Cwmcysgod may appear a quiet  sleepy sort of place. But beneath
the surface  tensions simmer  hearts ache  and painful truths threaten to emerge.
Sixteen-year-old Catrin Bone knows only what she has been told. Now  she is beginning to
question her small world  and a version of the past that seems to entrap and embitter her
reclusive mother  Mary. Mary had a sister once  a girl of unparalleled beauty. Why did she
disappear from the village in a shroud of shame all those years ago - and where is she now?
Meanwhile the Clements brothers  skint and all out of hope  run rampant across the hills and
lanes. And old Dai Bevel  whose frailty masks a dark history  dreams of a girl he used to
know... The sins of the past are approaching  for it takes a village: to raise a child  to
bring down a woman  to hide something monstrous and to look the other way. In this tender  sly
exquisitely wrought novella  a unique cast of characters give voice to their versions of the
truth. But it is the story of Rosalind Bone  of her strength and of all that she has endured 
that rises above the rest  shimmering with hope and possibility...
