Nanteos: The Dipping Pool
​
Jane’s latest novel, Nanteos: The Dipping Pool, is companion to The Shadow of Nanteos, described by Robert Peston as "A wonderfully gothic evocation of Wild Wales". It is both prequel and sequel, continuing the story of the infamous Powell family of Nanteos Mansion and of the violent, secretive world of eighteenth-century Cardiganshire. It is a visceral, hard-hitting historical novel exploring life in the mansions and mines of the 'Wild West of Wales'. You can follow latest developments on Jane’s facebook page
