Wheel of Fortune II

Robert's health declines and he ends up in a wheelchair. Ginevra was indeed pregnant at the end of the war and she gives birth to another son, Kester. He has adjusted to being at home, and does a bit of writing but he has not been earning now for years. He is however heir to the estate. John, Robert's next brother, who has moved to Gower, starts to support his father and sick brother. He and Robert become closer.. However he too has problems. His first wife, Blanche, was very rich and she has lands outside Wales. John buys a small estate near his father's house and farms it. Then Blanche dies and John makes a hasty second marriage to an American Millionaire's daughter. He has realised that he will never inherit Oxmoon and wants to secure himself some more money and a job. Constance, his American wife, is well meaning but she is dull and humourless, and difficult. This marriage produces a daughter, but proves to be a mistake. He finds Constance exhausting.. and he realises that the woman he loves is Bronwen, a Welsh working class woman who has been living nearby with her 2 children. Her sister is married to John's farm manager. He has had a one night stand with Bronwen and gets her pregnant and he finds out a few months later that the affair has produced a son, Evan. He asks Constance for a divorce, but she flatly refuses. She lives in London and he is in Gower. John tries to manage the estate, Oxmoon, and help his aging, increasingly shaky father... who has taken up with his housekeeper Milly Straker. She is a selfish woman but she's happy to be his mistress and he finds himself giving her money to persuade her to stay with him. However John is not liked by the tenants because of his broken marriage and the fact that he is living more or less openly with Bronwen. His father, now a widower, also is angry that John has chosen to leave his wife and have an affair with a working class woman. Robert's health declines and his elder son Robin dies in a fall. Robert tries to become close to Kester, but in the end he dies after several years of suffering leaving his only surviving son, who is nervy, sensitive, artistic and very unlike most of the Godwins.
