TICKET TO PARADISE - Peter Owen Publishers 

Historical fiction, set amongst the first wave of Welsh emigrants to Patagonia in the 19th century. Things are tough for Dafydd, Myfanwy, and their family in mid-nineteenth century Wales. The old agricultural way of life has been destroyed by the march of capitalism and industrialisation. The old squires and the new rich ironmasters and mine owners exploit the people of the valleys in equal measure.

Dafydd and his family are promised a way out – a Ticket to Paradise, to a place far across the oceans, a lush unspoilt land where they can establish a new Wales, unhindered by the cruel incomers, who not only took them off the land and dragged them down the coal mines, but deny them their beloved language, traditions and culture.

But, is all what it seems? What awaits them in that Patagonian paradise? After a cruel, passage on the tea clipper – The Mimosa, the settlers arrive exhausted, already battered and bruised by the long, arduous journey. They disembark onto those strange shores and step into their future, whatever it will be . . .
