Tag: Angharad Price

For my third Fiction Uncovered guest column, I wanted to write about fiction in translation. I’ve reviewed three novels translated from Welsh, each of which won the Wales Book of the Year award:

• Martha, Jack & Shanco by Caryl Lewis (translated by Gwen Davies)
• The Life of Rebecca Jones by Angharad Price (translated by Lloyd Jones)
• Faith, Hope & Love by Llwyd Owen (translated by the author)

I didn’t really have a greater rationale for choosing those specific books, but actually I think they fit together quite well as a set of novels that deal with the effect of place on character. And they’re all worth reading in their own right.
