Sinossi
The village of Tanygraig on the Welsh-English border is the backdrop of this passionate novel of love and its consequences. Beti, the beautiful and willful daughter of a pub landlord, is pursued by two men: Llew, her aggressive, red-haired cousin, and Evan, the dreamy miller and would-be poet. She must make a choice, but it is not just her future that depends on her decision; for she and Tanygraig are positioned precariously on borders of class, nation, language, and changing times.

Recensione
It has filled me with a sense of seeing great talent trying its first flight, which I have not experienced since reading D.H Lawrence s The White Peacock. --Howard Spring
Explores issues of nationality, language and class with a humorous yet tragic story attached... --Buzz Magazine
It is a mystery why a minor masterpiece like The Heyday of the Blood has been overlooked. Alternately comic and touching, this beautifully-observed and poetic chronicle of rural life deserves to be as widely enjoyed as the novels of H E Bates, Laurie Lee and even Thomas Hardy. Set on the border between Wales and England in the years of the Depression, The Heyday of the Blood describes the changes being wrought by modernisation and the reactions of the idiosyncratic inhabitants, which range from capitulation to resistance via drunken pranks. It is also a poignant romance: will the beautiful Beti choose the dreamy poet or the fiery poacher? And how will her father, the rambunctious keeper of the Red Lion Inn, respond? --Paul Duerdan
