Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

As the stories of several of the members of the London Welsh Centre unfold we are given an insight into many of the aspects of the way the Welsh feel about their country. And the perspective of the exiles offers an objectivity which sheds new light on our eternal search for Welshness. These very different and fascinating life stories provide interesting reading from native Welsh-speakers and their hiraeth for home through the first and second generations born in exile and yet still proud of their Welsh ancestry. And they will ring true with many who have grown up in the fast-changing and often turbulent times of a small nation struggling to define itself over the last 50 years.
