About the Book

A family saga of love, loss and lust set against the backdrop of the drowning of the village of Llanwddyn in Powys. The story of the drowned valley to provide water for the city of Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth century is woven with the story of a contemporary family with close ties to both Llanwddyn and Liverpool.

Review :
Bydd thema a chynnwys y nofel hanesyddol hon yn dipyn o agoriad llygad i'r mwyafrif o ddarllenwyr. Mae hanes boddi pentref bychan Capel Celyn yn Sir Feirionnydd ddiwedd y 1950au er mwyn creu cronfa ddŵr ar gyfer dinasyddion Lerpwl yn hen gyfarwydd i bawb ohonom. Ond does fawr neb yn ymwybodol bellach i'r un peth ddigwydd pan foddwyd dyffryn Efyrnwy yn Sir Drefaldwyn i'r un pwrpas, a hynny yn ystod yr 1880au hwyr. Aeth yr hanes hynod drist hwn yn angof gan nad oedd y trigolion lleol yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw, 'fel taeogion di-rym' (chwedl yr awdur), yn medru protestio'n effeithiol yn erbyn y penderfyniad swyddogol ynghylch eu tynged drist. Mae hon yn nofel afaelgar sydd wedi'i chynllunio'n arbennig o glyfar a dyfeisgar wrth iddi adrodd dwy stori ramant o wahanol gyfnodau hanesyddol – un o'r 1880au yn Llanwddyn ac un o'r cyfnod cyfoes yn ninas Lerpwl, ac mae'r drefn gyfochrog sydd yn sail i'r cyfan yn llawn dychymyg eithriadol o fyw ar ran y nofelydd. Gan fod y naratif yn neidio'n gyson rhwng y ddwy stori, rhaid canolbwyntio'n galed wrth ddarllen er mwyn dilyn rhediad y naratif sydd yn datblygu'n eithriadol o gyflym. A grymoedd oesol cariad, galar a chwant sydd yn sail i'r cyfan a ddigwydd i'r cymeriadau canolog. O'r cyfnod cyfoes cawn ddarllen hanes Meira Owen, prifathrawes uchelgeisiol Ysgol Gynradd Saint Mary's, Toxteth, Lerpwl (ond gwraig sydd hefyd â chysylltiadau agos â phlwyf Llanwddyn). Heb ddatgelu manylion y stori, daw sawl trasiedi a her i wynebu’r wraig ifanc ac mae’r plwyf gwledig yn gefndir i’r cyfan. Mae'r ail thema yn ymdebygu i'r gyntaf mewn nifer o ffyrdd, a hanes hynod o drist sydd gan Ann a Twm Elis a'u llond tŷ o blant yn Llanwddyn yn ystod yr 1880au. Mae llawer iawn o'u hanes yn ingol o drasig, ond ceir elfen o lawenydd yma hefyd, wrth i Ann gychwyn ar bennod newydd, fwy gobeithiol, yn ei bywyd, er gwaethaf beirniadaeth y plwyfolion a’r eglwys. Mae'r hanesion hyn yn taflu llawer iawn o oleuni ar natur cymdeithas y Gymru wledig yn ystod y cyfnod hwn ac mae aml i gymeriad diddorol tu hwnt yn ymddangos yn y stori, megis Hen Wraig Eifionydd, bydwraig yr ardal sydd hefyd yn ceisio trin cleifion gyda'i meddyginiaeth cartref (ac yn ennyn dicter y meddyg lleol oherwydd hyn). Er nad yw'r cyfan sy'n digwydd yn hawdd ei ddilyn, mae'r digwyddiadau'n cydio yn nychymyg y darllenydd ac yn bendant yn creu argraff. Mae'r penodau’n llawn deialog fyw ac mae’n hawdd iawn uniaethu â’r cymeriadau. Nofel sy’n datgelu dawn ysgrifennu gynhenid eithriadol Eiddwen Jones yw hon; gobeithio'n fawr y daw gweithiau eraill ganddi’n fuan.
