About the Author:
Emyr Humphreys is one of Wales's foremost novelists and author of 21 novels, including a past winner of the Somerset Maugham Award and works that are now set texts at A-Level. He is the author of volumes of poetry, short stories, cultural criticism and has also written a selected history of Wales, The Taliesin Tradition.
Review:
'Emyr Humphreys is one of the most gifted contemporary novelists. He has an instinctive sense of the ways in which men and women are shaped by their environment, an eye for the incident that reveals character, a deep feeling for the poetry which is part of everyday life and for the rhythms in which it expresses itself in ordinary speech.' Goronwy Rees, The Spectator
