Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a novel about a publisher from London who moves home to Wales to find out just how deep his roots go.In a university town by the seaside he seeks advice from range of characters: the scholar whose commitment to his work has cost him much; his wife, who has sacrificed so much in turn; the professor-turned-public-intellectual; his wife, the actress; and the artist whose pictures adorn the walls of houses throughout the town. But what exactly is the relationship between these people Mary-Burdett Jones's debut novel, this is a challenging, innovative work that weaves the past, the present and the future with dreams and poetry. 'This is a substantial work which draws the reader in with its unexpected unfamiliarities and constantly shifting flow.'- Bobi Jones________________Independent Welsh press Melin Bapur has published a new original novel, Llanllenorion / Scribblertown by Mary Burdett-Jones, which has been described as conveying 'a completely new voice and perspective in the Welsh language'.
