How Green Was My Valley

"How Green Was My Valley" is Richard Llewellyn's bestselling -- and timeless -- classic and the basis of a beloved film. As Huw Morgan is about to leave home forever, he reminisces about the golden days of his youth when South Wales still prospered, when coal dust had not yet blackened the valley. Drawn simply and lovingly, with a crisp Welsh humor, Llewellyn's characters fight, love, laugh and cry, creating an indelible portrait of a people.

Sarah Sammis

I read it as a teen and I remember it kept me up most of the night. It was that good. I want to re-read it.

Geoffrey Landward

Beautiful imagery, especially the descriptions of the food and meals they had as a family. It always made me hungry.

Jade Flynn

A lament to a world largely forgotten, about a past way of life preserved in elegantly crafted words.
Savour it, because you can't go back and experience it for the first time ever again. Unquestionably, one of the best novels I have ever read and will probably ever read. I'm at a loss for words. That is all.
