(1) YA In 1290s Caernarvon, Wales, English Cecily, resentful of her father's new post as a town burgess, feels the place and the filthy, taciturn Welsh servants are beneath her. When the Welsh rebel against the English, it's her servant Gwinny's turn to exercise power. Coats allows the two narrators to be both sympathetic and unsympathetic in this unusually honest portrait of the effects of power.
