More about the book

Set in a sweltering July afternoon in a South Wales seaport town, the narrative unfolds in the cramped kitchen of No. 2 Bryn Street. Mrs. Parry prepares for tea as her lodgers return home, creating a lively atmosphere. The scene captures the warmth of domestic life, with one lodger engaged in spirited conversation with Mrs. Parry, who balances her duties with a toasting fork in hand. The vivid descriptions highlight the interplay of heat, conversation, and the anticipation of shared moments over tea.
