A poetic work of fiction on the one hand, an autobiography on the other, The Life of Rebecca Jones is about one family's passage through the twentieth century. A fictional elegy to a threatened way of life.
Angharad Price's reflection of family history through the prism of fiction is a restrained, lyrical tour de force . . . Shot through with meditations on blindness and insight, this account of one family's passage through the twentieth century is skilfully rendered with grace and quiet power.
