Adolygiadau

The book had me gripped from beginning to end. It was an interesting mix of a mystery story that turns into an elegy for a lost way of life. I also found the way Lilla's own story is woven into the stories she tells of others fascinating for the questions it poses about home and belonging and what they mean to us and how history and social change makes its mark on individuals. Above all I was moved by her obvious love for the people she writes about and her desire to make sure that their stories are not lost. - Jessica Starmer

Lilla Pennant has created an important piece of work in documenting the stories of a life in Tremeirchion and Sodom by seeking out and listening to the oral stories of people living on the mountain and then committing the stories to paper for future generations to read. - Roy Hogben

...the book is an interesting and valuable piece of social history. Its later sections on the all-pervading importance of poaching are a useful insight into long-established inequalities in Welsh rural life that forced successive generations into dangerous illegality just to survive. - Morning Star

Pennant has done the yeoman's job of telling a poignant story and in the process preserving critical history. - Antonia Shoumatoff, The Millbrook Independent

On a Dark Night With Enough Wind is the most fascinating book I have read all year... a beautiful, intriguing read that brings Wales' history richly to life. - Jenny White, Western Mail Magazine
