Penniless Peggin is taken in and given work as a maid by the renowned Ladies of Llangollen, a real-life lesbian couple moving in the literary circles of Byron and Wordsworth. But she is a difficult character and struggles to repay their kindness. Peggin's brother Joe is driven and hard-working, giving all his energies to the building of Thomas Telford's Pontcysyllte Acqueduct, but is tormented by a promise he has failed to keep. Betrayal comes in many forms in this moving tale of the trials of one family over 25 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"INPRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40335354593378,"sku":"9781800993198","price":205.15,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1279\/5591\/files\/9781800993198.jpg?v=1683360289","url":"https:\/\/elexacademicbookstore.co.za\/products\/peggin-the-duckies","provider":"Elex Academic Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
