my coverDedication: For Francis Wyndham
And for Diana Melly
See that dedication, Diana Melly was the wife of avant garde George Melly, a larger than life English jazz and blues singer, who was always milling around at both the literary and jazz festivals in Hay, and with Dankworth and Lane at Brecon Jazz.
Opening: FOR FORTY-TWO YEARS, Lewis and Benjamin Jones slept side by side, in their parents bed, at their farm which was known as 'The Vision'.
P 28: Most Radnorshire farmers knew chapter and verse of the Bible, preferring the Old Testament to the New, because in the Old Testament there were many more stories about sheep-farming.
Lovely read about the lifespan of male identical twins in mid Wales. Not one to read if you are looking for a plot driven adventure story.
