The Book of Jem

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Yng nghanol adladd rhyfeloedd crefyddol dinistriol, caiff Duw ei wahardd. Cyrhaedda merch ifanc - Jem - bentref anghysbell Underhill, gan gyhoeddi, nid yn unig bod Duw yn bod ond ei bod hi wedi'i hanfon i gyflwyno neges apocalyptaidd. Mae'r pentrefwyr sy'n grediniol bod Jem yn dweud celwydd, yn gwylio mewn braw wrth i eraill o'u plith dyrru i ymuno â'r grefydd newydd God's Threads.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

As the prophesied apocalypse draws near, Jem's divisive message eventually threatens the very existence of Underhill. "Bold storytelling, with the satirical force of Naomi Alderman's The Power but its own claustrophobic sense of place" – Francis Spufford, author of Golden Hill
