Book description
Josh Retallick, hardy son of a respected Cornish family, and the wild
Miriam, daughter of a drink-sodden copper miner, explore together the
secret places and wild creatures of Bodmin Moor, unaware that fate
will soon sweep them apart.
Yet destiny brings them together again and again through hard and
bitter years when the forces of property and power fight to crush the
sturdy mining folk who refuse, come what may, to see their spirit broken...
E. V. Thompson was born in London and spent nine years in the Navy
