Some secrets take their
time to travel home
Gareth
Maddox has his own successful Cardiff Bay law firm, a clever and talented wife
and four perfectly imperfect children. Then along comes Cassandra Taylor,
managing director of a Canadian shirt company wanting to set up a major
manufacturing plant in the Welsh valley Gareth hails from. It seems like the
kind of work he will excel at and an ideal way to see the valley pull back from
joblessness and despair.
Back
at the end of the Great War, in the wake of a community splitting strike,
Gareth’s Great-Great-Uncle Idris sailed off to Canada in search of his fortune
and a new way of life. Behind him Idris left his twin Tommy and Maggie, Tommy’s
wife, who shared her childhood and much else besides with both brothers.
Decades
later, Maggie’s secret life is revealed – and for Gareth nothing may ever be
quite as it was before Perfect Ltd came to Wales.

ABOUT BETHAN DARWIN
Toronto born but Rhondda raised, Bethan
studied law at King's College London and was a partner in a law firm in the
City of London for some years before homesickness got the better of her and she
returned to Wales.
Bethan is now a solicitor and partner
at a Cardiff law firm. She also runs women’s networking group Superwoman,
writes a bi-weekly column for the Western
Mail and is a regular contributor on BBC Wales. She and her husband
have two children. It's a struggle finding time to write fiction but she
squeezes it in instead of doing housework or going to the gym.
