The SSiW Welsh Book Club 📖 📚 👓

Sioned has just released a book for adults “Madws”, which is a fantasy novel. It’s a cracking read (if you like that sort of thing), and she has a lovely “voice”.

Also, I recently read “O Ran” by Mererid Hopwood, which I had picked up in a second-hand bookshop. It won the Medal Rhyddiaith in the Eisteddfod a few years back, so it’s not too long, and she writes simply but beautifully (as you’d expect!)

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have learnt, from experience, that novels for adults that have won prices are too hard, but novels for young adults that have won prizes are fine. :smiley:

Basically, I’m not yet at the stage where I can comfortably read a book that would make for a great reading experience for an adult L1 Welsh-speaker. Less varied language and less of the less-used vocabulary works better for me at the moment.
