Black Diamonds: The Rise and Fall of an English Dynasty by Catherine Bailey

3.0

Fascinating story of class, property & social mores set against the 20 century history of coal mining as well as war, poverty and social division. Whilst a great story it is poorly told. Strands of the story disappear only to re-appear later when you have lost the trail...Chapter endings try to provide "cliff hangers" but to my mind are just plain daft...
Non-fiction
