CATRIN COLLIER - NOVELS
HEARTS OF GOLD
was filmed as a mini-series by the BBC. It is the first of eight novels set in my home town of Pontypridd between 1930 and 1950. They relate the peace and wartime fortunes of the Powell and Ronconi families. The others are:
ONE BLUE MOON
A SILVER LINING
ALL THAT GLITTERS
SUCH SWEET SORROW
PAST REMEMBERING
BROKEN RAINBOWS
SPOILS OF WAR
BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS
WINNERS AND LOSERS
SINNERS AND SHADOWS
Span the years between 1906 and 1918. Set in my father’s home town in the Rhondda at the time of the Tonypandy riots.
SWANSEA GIRLS
SWANSEA SUMMER
HOMECOMING
Follows the lives of four teenage girls all looking for romance in 1950 Swansea. They live in Carlton Terrace, an area of town I know well as my husband and I made our first home in a basement flat there after our marriage.
FINDERS AND KEEPERS
I used Madame Patti's Castle, Craig y Nos in the Swansea Valley as a backdrop to this story of poverty and deprivation in rural Wales.
