Huw's Relationships In Two Lives By Helen Naylor

Huw and Megan, the main characters of the novel “Two Lives” by Helen Naylor had a very strong relationship between them. They started out with being friends at the first, but Huw found himself falling in love with Megan. Unfortunately, Huw couldn’t tell Megan about his feelings towards her because there was a huge gap between them in their social classes. Huw wasn 't rich at all, his mother passed away when he was born. David, Huw’s father is an alcoholic addict. Huw had two brothers but they passed away too. In contrast, Megan comes from a rich family so her father didn 't agree on this love nor marriage, he didn’t want her to take a poor man or a man different from her social class.
