The Library of Wales: The Heyday in the Blood by Geraint Goodwin
The village of Tanygraig on the Welsh-English border is the setting for this passionate novel of love and its consequences. Beti, the beautiful and wilful daughter of a pub landlord, is pursued by two men: Llew, her aggressive, red-haired cousin, and Evan, the dreamy miller and would-be poet. She has to make a choice but it's not her future alone that depends on her decision. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
'It has filled me with a sense of seeing great talent trying its first flight, which I have not experienced since reading DH Lawrence's The White Peacock.' Howard Spring 'Explores issues of nationality, language and class with a humorous yet tragic story attached...' Buzz Magazine
Geraint Goodwin was born in Wales in 1903. He started writing at an early age, his first success being at a local eisteddfod. As a young man he made his living as a journalist in London, where he wrote his first book Conversations with George Moore, and followed it with Call by Yesterday. It was not, however, until he reached the age of thirty-two that he published his first work of fiction. The Heyday in the Blood made a considerable impression on the critics, and its author was hailed as a second Thomas Hardy. Three more books, The White Farm, a collection of short stories Watch for the Morning and Come Michaelmas followed, the last of which was written during an increasing struggle against ill-health. His untimely death in 1941 brought to an end a brilliant literary career which had barely time to begin. He was married and had two children, a girl and a boy.
