   Livsöden i Engelsk gruvmiljö

   Boken var underhållande, beskrev utförligt hur det vara att leva i Cornwall på den tiden. Man kommer nära personerna, hur hårt de fick arbeta för låg lön, att avund och ondska kan förstöra, men att kärleken mellan människor gör dem starka så de kan känna lycka. Mycket levande och bra beskrivningar. Svårt att lägga ifrån sig boken.
