A first English translation of 30 Welsh short stories featuring work by many of the leading young writers working in the Welsh language. Contributors include Aled Islwyn, Aled Lewis Evans, John Emyr, Meleri Roberts, Meg Elis, Angharad Price, Manon Rhys and Sioned Puw Rowlands.
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.
