 Feet In Chains/Traed Mewn Cyffion
Kate Roberts
A compelling account of family life in the slate quarries of North Wales
Feet In Chains is the saga of the Gruffydd family, spanning over 40 years. As they struggle to raise their family and forge a living against the harsh conditions of the mountain, their feelings and troubles are revealed.

Feet In Chains was chosen by Wales Today presenter Sara Edwards as her Welsh book of choice.
