Here are Lovers is the story of Laetitia Wingfield, the beautiful and bookish daughter of the local Anglicised Squire Wingfield and Gronwy Griffith, the son of one of his Welsh tenant farmers, who longs to be a classical scholar. Bored and frustrated with the restricted life of a Victorian young lady, Laetitia encounters the romance she so longs for when she becomes lost during a clandestine night-time ride and is rescued by Gronwy. Both are trapped, one by class, the other by gender, in this moving exploration of society in 19th century Wales.
