Race Day

The Walloping Stick War

The Revolutionary's Daughter

The Revolutionary's Daughter

It is the time of the Miner's Strike, and feelings in the small town where Violette lives are running high.

Her mother's concerns about the politics of the situation do not interest her - until they lead to the break-up of the family.

Then Violette's own emotions are thrown into turmoil: bitterness at her mother's desertion, yet a desperate need for her understanding.

And she finds attitudes towards the events around her changing as she becomes involved with Alan, one of her mother's new friends.
