"One of the most moving tales I have read in many years, written with a simplistic charm, Sheila Morgan's first novel Olicka Bolicka & Pink Bluebells had me unashamedly shedding tears..." Norma Penfold, Gwales
This accomplished first novel is set in a South Wales mining village during the Second World War. The author recreates the spirit and mood of the times in convincing fashion, allowing readers to appreciate the dramatic changes which Welsh society and day-to-day family life have since undergone.
Ivy Edmunds and her family relocate at her husband's insistence from a recently allocated modern council house near the sea to a shabby terrace in a South Wales mining village, to escape bombing during WWII. Ivy is loath to go at first but gradually her opinion of her new surroundings changes.
