The Valley: A Hundred Years in the Life of a Yorkshire Family by Richard Benson

Description: The Valley by Richard Benson Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Wonderfully evocative ... Not for a heartbeat is there a false or faltering note as various life stories unfurl and conflate, invariably amid hardship and leading to heartbreak The TimesThe close-knit villages of the Dearne Valley in Yorkshire were home to four generations of the Hollingworth family. Spanning Richard Bensons great-grandmother Winnies ninety-two years in the valley, and drawing on years of historical research, interviews and anecdotes, The Valley lets us into generations of carousing and banter as the familys attempts to build a better and fairer world for themselves meet sometimes with triumph, sometimes with bitter defeat.Against a backdrop of underground explosions, strikes and pit closures, these are unflinching, deeply personal stories of battles between the sexes in a mans world sustained by strong women; of growing up, and the power of love and imagination to transform lives. Author Biography Richard Benson is the author of the number one bestseller The Farm, which was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award in 2005 and a 2006 Richard and Judy Book Club choice. He was born in the Dearne Valley in South Yorkshire, and lives in London with his wife and two daughters.
