My Neighbors: Stories of the Welsh People

"My Neighbors: Stories of the Welsh People" by Caradoc Evans is a compilation of tales from the beginning of the 1900s, painting a picture of Welsh society by examining religion, the ways people interact, and the problems they face. Introducing the collection is a look into Welsh culture with religion at its center, where the preacher holds significant power over his followers. Through different characters, the book shows Wales as a mix of strong faith and normal human weaknesses, especially in how neighbors treat each other, with stories covering topics like family, cheating, money, love, and belief, and suggests problems within the community. Stories of characters like Adam Powell and his daughters highlight the struggle to find love and stay loyal when faced with family duties and what society expects.
