All Things Betray Thee
Gwyn Thomas
 Set in the new town of Moonlea, a fictionalised version of Merthyr Tydfil, it is told from the viewpoint of a travelling harpist, Alan Hugh Leigh, who is looking for his friend, the singer John Simon Adams. But his friend has become a populist leader among the ironworkers, who are involved in a bitter industrial conflict. The novel may be read as an allegorical treatment of the 1831 Merthyr Rising.
