Title: The candidate
Description: Set in South Wales during the 1950s, the story follows the fortunes of an indecisive candidate in a parliamentary by-election involving the black arts of political intrigue, presented in a manner close enough to the truth to have a ring of authenticity. It reveals the manipulations, the personal betrayals, the little white lies, and the human cost to a family when a man makes a choice to play a role in the public eye.
