Strike For A Kingdom By Menna Gallie

Menna Gallie

Lu par Diana Griffiths

(5 étoiles; 1 critique)

Dramatised by Diana Griffiths, this adaptation of Menna Gallie's classic novel takes you to the small Welsh valleys village of Cilhendre in 1926, where miners are on strike. When the local mine's manager is found dead, a murder investigation unfolds, revealing the tensions and secrets of this close-knit community.

Paul Rhys stars in a gripping tale that is both a darkly engrossing murder mystery and a beautifully poetic evocation of a community struggling to survive in a world of extreme poverty. The story reflects Gallie's own experiences growing up in a similar village, deeply affected by the miner's strike during her childhood.
