Description
The House of Abraham Phillips by Norma Procter is a poignant and powerful exploration of grief, guilt, and redemption. Told through the voice of Phillip Phillips, the second son of Abraham Phillips, this novel delves into the devastating consequences of his father's actions on that fateful day in 1875. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Garth Mountain, the story brings to life the struggles of a community facing hard work and poverty, with the hell of Victorian industry devastating the valley floor. The events of that day are part of recorded history, and this novel serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the pursuit of coal. Through Phillip's narrative, Procter sheds light on the stoical people who lived through this tragedy, their stories woven into the fabric of the Old Testament. A powerful tribute to the victims of the Lan Mine disaster, The House of Abraham Phillips is a moving and thought-provoking read.
