Graham Jones (Y Lolfa)
Inspired by the tale from the Mabinogi of Twrch Trwyth, the boar hunted down by King Arthur, Graham Jones uses the rich Welsh tradition of storytelling and juxtaposes it with various beautiful and spiritual descriptions of the Welsh landscape to create a compelling narrative of his own. With many a twist and turn, the book never has a dull moment, as we are moved through over 25 years and shown the impact that this mythology has had on a group of people. Despite some of the strands of the plot remaining frustratingly unravelled at the end, the story coalesces in terms of looking to the future where mythical spirits, present in each of us, have the capacity to bring light from the darkness within.
