good TV mini-series, and it would be a worthwhile book to read if you were researching the social history of the welsh slate-quarrying industry. It was an interesting book for me to read in the context of a short holiday in Caernarfon, but it didn't really strike me as a successful novel, at least not in this translation (Katie Gramich, 2012). Obviously it should be read in Welsh to assess it fairly. <br><br>A quasi-autobiographical family-saga novel like this - without any real plot beyond birth, death, marriage and world events - has to stand or fall on the strength of its characters. In this case, the author seemed to be too preoccupied with telling us about the difficulties of her characters' lives to have a fair chance of making them come alive as people. There are a couple of very striking set-piece scenes, like the ice-sliding and the opening prayer meeting, but somehow the whole thing never really came together. <br><br>It's a very 1930s sort of a book, with strong parallels to other socially-concerned authors of the time, but it felt to me like a worthy but not entirely successful pastiche rather than an original new direction - Winifred Holtby without the humour, J.B. Priestley without the magisterial voice, George Orwell without the intellectual force. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss6.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_110875999" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_110875999"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_110875999" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_110875999" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_110875999"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/thorold" target="_top">thorold</a> | Aug 3, 2014 | <a href="/review/110875999"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_101839334" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/1913377" data-workid="1913377" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1908069562.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1908069562.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1908069562.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>This is the story of a family's struggle to survive in the slate mining community of North Wales in the years between 1880, when the main characters Jane and Ifan are married, and the coming of the First World War. It's quite a short novel to cover such a long time period, but by focusing on a few key incidents Roberts illuminates the whole wonderfully, so that the novel as a whole does not feel rushed. There are no extraordinary or dramatic events, more a day to day struggle to put food on the table and keep the children in school.<br><br>This isn't a particularly uplifting read, I have to say, not one of those feel good books where everyone is poor but the sense of family and community more than compensate for this. Family members certainly appear at the first sign of illness or death, but more like maurauding crows to feast on the spoils, than with any family feeling.<br><br>I loved the opening scene of the novel though, where the entire community is at an outdoor prayer meeting on a hot June day, but rather than focusing on the state of their soul the thoughts of the congregation are on more mundane matters: <i> 'especially amongst the women, whose new shoes were pinching, their new stays too tight, and the high collars of their new frocks suffocating'.</i> Jane is an object of envy at this, her first appearance as a new bride in the community of Moel Arian:<br><i><blockquote> 'Her waist was one of the smallest among the women in the congregation, as a result of much tugging at the cords of her stays before she started her way to the service. Her bustle was the largest in the field, the satin of her dress was the heaviest and stiffest there, it was she who had the most frills on her frock and the heaviest feather on her hat. Many of the women's eyes were upon her, since very few of them owned a satin dress which could stand up on its own'</blockquote></i>The contrast between this promising introduction, and the struggle which characterises the rest of Jane's life as the economic conditions of the neighbourhood deteriorate, is a poignant one.<br><br>Despite the active political life of the author (she was chair of the Women's Committee of the newly formed Welsh Nationalist Party) this isn't a novel that preaches an overtly political message, although politics are certainly dealt with. Rather it shows a concern for the plight of the slate workers who can do very little to improve their lot no matter how hard they work.<br><br>According to the introduction Kate Roberts is considered the most important Welsh female novelist of the twentieth century, although I have to admit that I hadn't heard of her before coming across this novel. This book was originally written in Welsh and I do wish I could read it in its original language. Reading it has brought on one of my periodic thoughts that I should learn Welsh <b>properly</b>, but given the fairly scant amount of Welsh that I know at the moment the likelihood of me actually getting to a standard where I could read a book like this is fairly non-existent! But there are several sections in the book where the anglicisation of words is key to characterisation, and that is clumsily conveyed when the whole book is in English. Feet in Chains reminded my a great deal of Bruce Chatwin's On the Black Hill, although as this novel was written in 1933 perhaps I should say that On the Black Hill reminded me of this. But they both have a similar sparse feel: covering decades in just a few pages. Overall then, a thought-provoking and worthwhile read - I'll be looking out for more by this author. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div
