Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

‘There is a certain feeling – standing between rows of richly dyed blue cloth – that you are within an enclave of protection, that within this ocean you can feel calm; a separation from the outside world.’ Ellie returns to a family funeral from studying at university, while Jeanette returns from studying the art of indigo dyeing in Japan. In this lyrical memoir, Ellie Evelyn Orrell weaves together stories of resettling in a once-familiar landscape; the healing powers of art; the historical, mythological and present day properties of indigo; and the presence of this indelible colour within the Welsh landscape. An Indigo Summer is an absorbing mediation on art, rural life and roots, grief, creativity and the artistic process.
