Riassunto

BEN RETALLICK - In the tine mines of Cornwall during the first decades of the nineteenth century, death is the constant companion of the working man. Ben Retallick has grown to sturdy manhood among the miners and fisherfolk, through the hard and hungry years when blood was often the price of bread. When cruel fate steals away Jesse, his dark-haired love, Ben searches the hiring fairs to find her again, knowing nothing of her parentage and caring only for the day he'll make her is wife.
CHASE THE WIND - Josh Retallick, hardy son of a respected Cornish family, and his love, the untamed Miriam, daughter of a drink-sodden copper miner, explore together the secret places and wild creatures of Bodmin Moor, unaware that fate will soon sweep them apart. But destiny brings them together again through hard and bitter years when foces of property and power fight to crush the sturdy mining folk who refuse, come what may, to see their spirit broken.
