Marged (T. Glynne Davies)

“Fel hyn yr oedd bywyd wedi bod: fel hyn y byddai am hanner canrif wedyn nes i’r Rhyfel Mawr roi sgytiad i bawb a phopeth a throi’r dreflan fach unwaith eto yn rhan o’r byd mawr o’i chwmpas."

When Marged Rowland goes to visit Sera Cesi to have her fortune told, little does she suspect how much the old witch's prophecies will reflect her life – ger relationship with her husband, Ifan, and the fate of her children, Gruff, Lora and Robat-jon.

Romance, tragedy, war – this epic novel, one of the longest ever written in Welsh, has them all, though in it you'll also find humour and satire, and above all history: the story of Llanrwst at the turn of the twentieth century, the history of the First World War and its social upheaveal, and the story of the Welsh people through a period of great change.

Marged was the second novel to be written by the famous author, poet and journalist T. Glynne Davies (1926-1988), and it was welcomed at the time of its first publication in 1974 as a development of historic importance to the novel in Welsh. This brand new edition has been put together by Peredur Glyn – the author's grandson – for a new generation to enjoy.
