Born in a hidden valley in West Wales during the first half of the 20th century, Arianwen is one of the blessed: one to whom life comes easily.
Hers is an ordinary life, similar to the lives we all live, filled with the small pleasures that help us bear life's little tragedies, in the hope things will get better again.
But in a fast-changing world, Arianwen must learn the hard way. It is endurance that will see her through real adversity.
Elegantly written with an understated humour and a lyricism that reflects the natural rhythms of the Welsh language, Arianwen
is the captivating portrait of one woman who represents us all.
