A review by nhelregel
How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn

4.0

This had come up on a few must-read-classics lists, so I gave it a shot and was largely pleasantly surprised. A coming-of-age story of a young Welsh man, the book explores labor unions, loss, love, etc. I liked Llewellyn's exploration of gender roles and some of his insights on how frustrating being young can be. Overall would recommend, with the caution that it might lag a bit if you're used to fast-paced narratives.
