Llwch yn yr Haul - Marlyn Samuel
Ever since reading Cicio’r Bwced I’ve been wanting to read another book by the same author and I haven’t been disappointed with this one. I really enjoyed reading this for a few reasons really, first it was full of humour, not laugh out loud funny but a lot of snorting, second it was a great story line, really interesting and kept me keen, and third it was set in Cyprus and I recognised all of the place names from stories of when we were there in '72/'73 (my dad was in the RAF).
Translated from the back cover …
It’s impossible to keep a secret forever - the truth is bound to come out some day. That’s what a family from Anglesey discover during a memorable visit to Cyprus. Under the island’s sweltering sun all the emotions that are boiling under the surface explode, and the week’s shocking events affect each one of their lives.
The same as I wrote for Cicio’r Bwced … 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.
