  Highlighting the personal experiences of the individual, this book pro bes the private lives of people in order to fully appreciate the complex nature of society. It is a detailed analysis of sexuality and tension that seeks to overturn the cosy images of Wales and the Welsh. Russell Davies opens the book with a chapter on demography and then goes on to explore the twilight worlds of mental illness and suicide, crime and protest, sexuality and tension, religion, superstitions and popular culture.
