It is 1919 and World War One is over. Troops have been demobbed, with high expectations but low prospects of finding gainful employment or even housing. The third wave of the pandemic, the Spanish Flu, continues to wreak havoc, with port towns suffering heavily. Cardiff, and most particularly, Butetown, with a high number of seafaring immigrants, is the centre of racial unrest mirroring events which are taking place across the Atlantic during the Red Summer. Against the backdrop, violent race riots close in on Butetown, as Bethan, a white nurse, wakes to her worst nightmare. Beaten by white thugs for her relationship with Raphael, a black activist, she finds herself trapped in a house on the wrong side of the riots and in the firing line of Rose, an enraged Jamaican-born boarding mistress. Racial tension, violence, death and rejection suffocate them, but they are forced to set aside their differences and work as a united front in the heat of the Cardiff crucible. Routes is a compelling stage play about the struggles which cross the divides: black and white people, inter-racial relationships, immigration, age-old bigotries and newly-held ideals. It's a play of its time, but just as relevant today.

Do you need to make a Will but don't know where to start? Are you baffled by the array of choice that's available? Do you really need to go to a solicitor or would one of those DIY Will kits do? And why are some DIY Wills rejected at Probate leaving a sorry mess for the bereaved? What about using the bank, or downloading a Will, or using the high street corner shop's new business? And just why are Will-writers, seemingly, the hapless fodder for investigative journalism? Or, have you already made a Will and would just like another viewpoint whilst you still have the ability to change it? The answers to all of these questions and more are in "The Good Will Guide". It will tell you why certain Will making avenues should be approached with extreme caution and, not only will it point you in the right direction but, more importantly, it will steer you away from making poor, uninformed choices which could prove to be costly for you and your loved ones. It will tell you why good willing doesn't just revolve around the making of a Will, but of the importance of leaving, in the broader sense, a good legacy. With refreshing candour, the author examines today's Will making choices and their costs. She considers the appointing of your executors, Will storage options and offers guidelines as to when you should review it. Finally, she looks at the importance of addressing the much neglected Letter of Wishes to assist your family and executors. It is a simple book written without jargon to assist the lay public. It could literally save you thousands of pounds.
