Weights and Measures

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Weights and Measures is an unhurried historical novel that ends as surprisingly for the characters as the reader. It follows an outwardly ordinary family, living in a working class suburb of Swansea, during the early days of World War II, exploring inner lives of fear, passion, and hope.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Preoccupied with their secrets, they live in almost suspended animation, waiting for an end to the weeks and months of apparent nothing – the so-called ‘phoney war.’ None of them are prepared for the real war when it begins – devastating and senseless, reconfiguring their lives forever. But out of tragedy, there is a speck of hope... "Against the epic backdrop of the Second World War, Fraser's intimate love letter to Swansea bursts with passion, humour, and heart - a sweeping family saga, so compelling readers won't want to put it down." Euros Lyn, BAFTA-winning Film and Television Director "A vivid and evocative historical novel which captures the atrocities of war through the lens of human experience - the luminous prose utterly transports you to the Froom family household. Fraser's eye for detail is second to none, and her characters seem to rise up off the page to greet you." Fflur Dafydd, Novelist and Screenwriter
