Synopses & Reviews
Privileged, isolated Helena and impoverished, unemployed Hugh find some fulfillment in their love, but they are still trapped in this dismal Wales of the future -- until they meet an unusual group of "patchwork people," who are working carefully and thoughtfully with what remains of the Earth's resources.
Review
