Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
'Elegantly written and meticulously researched... easily one of my books of the year' - Jon Gower in Nation.Cymru James Stewart's vivid and sympathetic portrayal of Evan and his world offers multiple windows onto the eighteenth century, not only in the Cynon valley, but across south Wales ... Stewart has a deft way of layering new landscapes over old, and helping the reader to understand how many of the patterns which created eighteenth-century south Wales shaped, and continue to shape, our world today. From the Foreword by Mary-Ann Constantine University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies
