Description
The Green Hollow by Owen Sheers In 1966, tragedy struck Aberfan, a small village in south Wales, when a coal slag heap collapsed, claiming the lives of 144 people, mostly children. Poet Owen Sheers has given voice to those who still live in this community, using their collective memories to create a powerful and poignant work. Sheers' book is not just a retelling of what happened, but also an exploration of what was lost - the social life, interests, and history of Aberfan before it became a mining village. The Green Hollow is a historical story with a deeply urgent contemporary resonance, shedding light on the consequences of corporate control and the lasting impact of such events. Based on the BBC One production, this beautifully rendered picture of a time and place offers a unique perspective on a life-altering event whose effects are still felt today.
