The Neal saga

The trilogy relates the 200-year Neal family history, beginning in the Scottish borders with the birth of William, and flows through the decades up to 1991.

Finale (1894 to 1991).The family's fortunes take a spiral. Robert Neal's wife Hannah does not care about the disinheritance. She becomes a suffragist. Their son William is killed in action at Ypres in WW1. Robert dies in the post-war influenza pandemic.

Their militant suffragette daughter, Charlotte, volunteers as a VAD (auxiliary nurse). When the war ends, she marries John Forsythe, a pilot.

Years later Charlotte visits her daughter, Elizabeth, in London, where she is training to be a nurse. Tragically, they are both killed in the blitz.

Before losing his life in the St Nazaire raid, their commando son Robert William fathers an illegitimate child, named James McVitie. He becomes a surgeon and bends the rules. Disaster follows.

Описание: In 1805, young William Neal ran away from his life as a ploughboy in the Scottish Borders, eventually reaching London. He initially lived as a street urchin until, for his honesty and by a happy coincidence, he became an assistant coachman to a banker who later recognised his hidden talents and employed him as a teller.

Описание: In Footnotes to Water (Seren) poet Zoe Skoulding follows two forgotten rivers, the Adda in Bangor and the Bievre in Paris, and tracks the literary hoofprints of sheep through Welsh mountains. In these journeys she reveals urban and rural locales as sites of lively interconnection, exploring the ways in which place shapes and is shaped by language.
