Sleepy rustic Carmarthenshire was secretly a hotbed of debauchery, violence and drunkenness according to Russell Davies in a new edition of his very successful book, Secret Sins. Behind the facade of idyllic rural life, there was a twilight world of mental illness, suicide, crime, vicious assaults, infanticide, cruelty and other assorted acts of depravity. This almost anecdotal historical study is often funny, sometimes disturbing, always revealing.
Russell Davies was formerly Head of Marketing at Aberystwyth University; he is the author of Secret Sins: Sex, Violence and Society in Carmarthenshire 1870-1920 and Hope and Heartbreak: A Social History of Wales and the Welsh 1776-1870.
