Richard King

History / Europe / Great Britain / Wales

DAVID KYN ASTON

'Fascinating.' OBSERVER
'Powerful.' LITERARY REVIEW
'Inspired.' GUARDIAN
Brittle with Relics is a vital history of Wales undergoing some of the country's most seismic and traumatic events: the disasters of Aberfan and Tryweryn; the rise of the Welsh language movement; the Miners' Strike and its aftermath; and the narrow vote in favour of partial devolution.
Drawing upon the voices of its inhabitants - includin Neil Kinnock, Rowan Williams, Leanne Wood, Gruff Rhys, Michael Sheen, Nicky Wire, Sian James, language activists, members of former mining communities and many more - this is a vivid portrait of a nation determined to survive, while maintaining the hope that Wales will one day thrive on its own terms.

'An essential telling of Welshness that contains a powerful reflection of Englishness, too.'
EMMA WARREN
