Beggars And Choosers (2013)
“Like many other young Spaniards of their generation, her father and his younger sister had left their native country in search of work in the newly opened pits in the Welsh Valleys. When a collier’s life had taken a toll on his health, he borrowed money from his mother-in-law and leased a small shop in Dunraven Street. Shortly afterwards he changed the family name to Rodney because he thought it sounded more British and he hoped, acceptable to his customers.
Disregarding her parents’ opposi...tion, Connie married Albert George on her twenty-first birthday. Albert was handsome and kind, and she had been absolutely and besottedly in love. Charmed by his manners, open-handed nature but most of all, his expertise as a lover, she would have defied anyone who had tried to stop her from following him to the ends of the earth. As it happened, Albert only asked her to move into the rooms above the barber’s shop that he had inherited from his late, thrifty and hard-working father.MoreLess
