About the Author:
Elizabeth Morgan is a Welsh writer and actor.
Review:
'It's a fascinating story, well told. Morgan writes well and with a great ear for the cadences of Welsh, which enlivens her dialogue. The history is riveting . . . strongly recommended." —Historical Novel Society
"Elizabeth Morgan has unveiled a hidden epic of Welsh nationalism and human survival that – in a world once more filled with desperate people crossing the world in search of a safe haven – has more than a passing topical relevance." —Nigel Jones, Daily Mail
