Cicio’r Bwced - Marlyn Samuel

This was a very pleasing book to read, not full of laugh-out-loud funny bits but often very amusing, not loads of tear-jerking moments but often very moving. I found myself smiling while reading most of this novel. I loved it.

Translated from the back cover …
“After losing her husband Glyn, to a fatal heart attack, Menna is reclaiming her life.
With her friend Jan’s help she sees that it’s never too late to enjoy freedom, and love, for the first time.”

This is a grown-up’s book so not an easy read like those aimed at teenagers or learners but I wouldn’t say it was difficult either. Marlyn uses straightforward, simple language that’s very accessible so I wouldn’t think it would be impossible even for beginners and certainly ok for intermediate readers.
