Description
A Winter in the Hills by John Wain is a substantial and serious novel that sustains a vigorous narrative line. When philologist Roger Furnivall takes a sabbatical in North Wales to learn Welsh, he expects a long and dreary winter of linguistic study, but instead finds himself drawn into the drama of local affairs. A large corporation's attempts to squeeze out the last remaining bus operator have sparked a struggle for survival that resonates deeply with Roger. As he becomes embroiled in the conflict, he discovers that his winter in the hills may end up being much more than he had bargained for. This novel is a love affair between its author and North Wales itself, with a heart in the right place and a keen sense of social justice.
