Reviews

"Nofel glyfar iawn y gellir ei mwynhau ar sawl lefel, ac y mae ynddi stori ardderchog." - Rhiannon Lloyd

"Mae'n awdur dyfeisgar dros ben, sydd wedi creu sefyllfa bron yn anhygoel, gan ein cyfareddu, ein sobri, ein harswydo, a'n gogleisio ar yn ail... darn o lenyddiaeth sy'n bleser pur." - John Rowlands

"Nofel wedi ei chynllunio'n ofalus ac yn gyforiog o hiwmor a choegni a chlyfrwch tafod-mewn-boch." - Geraint Vaughan Jones

Blurb

On a cold February morning, in the year 2020, Dan, a porter at the National Library of Wales, is committing his daily offence against the regime. Greeting him at the door is Eben, a biographer, itching to be admitted. But, they are both unaware that Ana and Nan, two librarians intent on revenge, are on the brink of changing the history of the National Library of Wales forever. This novel transforms the peaceful atmosphere of the National Library into a theatrical set full of possibilities - where bullets cut through the silence, the Reading Room is a cell, and the Library itself is an anti-hero of our literature... WINNER OF THE 2009 DANIEL OWEN MEMORIAL PRIZE
