Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

The drowning of the Tryweryn valley near Bala by Liverpool Corporation in the mid-1960s was a traumatic episode in the history of modern Wales and followed an eight-year effort to prevent the destruction of homes. It left a deep scar not only on the families so cruelly uprooted but also on the wider Welsh-speaking community. In this series of paintings, Claudia Williams movingly explores her own personal response to the tragic, forcible destruction of this cultured community. The book includes a foreword by Elfyn Llwyd MP. Golygydd y gyfrol hyfryd hon yw’r ysgolhaig Ceridwen Lloyd-Morgan ac mae’r llyfr yn cynnwys rhagymadrodd hir ganddi hi a rhagair gan Elfyn Llwyd AS sydd yn un o edmygwyr gwaith Claudia Williams. Mae’r gyfrol yn cynnwys lluniau du a gwyn a lluniau lliwgar gan Claudia Williams gyda phenawdau dwyieithog. Mae rhagymadrodd Ceridwen Lloyd-Morgan hefyd yn cynnwys ffotograffau o’r arlunydd yn ystod cyfnod argyfwng Tryweryn ac ymateb y ffotograffydd Geoff Charles i un o ddigwyddiadau hanesyddol mwyaf arwyddocaol Cymru. ‘She opens up the house of memories.’ Robert Meyrick
