A Welsh Odyssey - Childhood, exile and the search for the hiraeth inside — Growing up in, away from and back towards North Wales

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Ma Jos Simon yn dwyn atgofion am blentyndod ym Mhwllheli, a sut y dylanwadodd hyn ar ei fywyd yn alltud yn Lloegr. Credai ei fod yn gadael Cymru, ond sylweddolodd ei fod, yn ei isymwybod, yn cael ei dynnu'n ôl ati yn gyson. Cyfrol ffeithiol-greadigol ardderchog am ogledd Cymru, yn gymaint ag am yr awdur.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Jos Simon recalls growing up in Pwllheli and how this informed his later life as a Welsh exile in England who believed he was leaving Wales, only to find that he was always unconsciously drawn back to it. Great creative non-fiction, about north Wales as much as about the author himself.
