About the book: 2009 / Mary had to leave a responsible job in London with a good salary, a comfortable modern apartment and all the delights of metropolitan life and return to Wales. A meeting with the young doctor Hugh on the ancient bridge on the day of her arrival dispelled Mary’s doubts about the correctness of her decision. Residents of the small town consider Mary and Hugh an ideal couple, and rumors of their engagement do not seem exaggerated to anyone. Only now Mary’s thoughtful gaze is increasingly directed towards the gloomy, dark Welshman Owen.
