language. Contributors include Aled Islwyn, Aled Lewis Evans, John

A White Veil for Tomorrow won the 1999 Prose Medal at Wales'
National Eisteddfod, one the country's most distinguished literary
awards for books written in the Welsh language. Now translated into
English, this collection of eight inter-related stories can now be
enjoyed by a wider readership. Sonia Edwards' characters spin out
their interwoven lives, the shifting perspective of each story
serving to illuminate another facet of truth and experience. At the
heart of each there is the poet Dafydd and Gwyneth, "his eternal
little sister, " a beautiful but childlike woman, whose
vulnerability touches the lives of those around her with both love
and the tragedy of love's losses. Past and present, memory and
poetry, passion and guilt are the threads that hold these
characters in the thrall of Edwards' spellbinding narrative.

A lively new translation from the original Welsh, this novel
centers on Nen, an enigma who one day disappears, inspiring those
closest to her to remember her. Through a range of other voices,
Nen's charater is revealed--her fears, desires, and longing. As her
family and friends betray their secrets of this mysterious woman,
however, they are also forced to reveal their own, closest-kept
feelings, and in the process betray themselves.
