Description
Set against the shifting landscapes of Welsh and American life, this novel follows Albie Aled as he navigates belonging, memory, and the ties that bind people to place. Through a richly digressive, character-driven narrative, the story explores how identity is carried across oceans—sometimes as comfort, sometimes as burden—while relationships and inherited histories quietly shape every choice. Emyr Humphreys’ distinctive style blends lyrical reflection with grounded storytelling, turning personal experience into a wider meditation on attachment, cultural inheritance, and the search for an “anchor” in an unsettled world. Part coming-to-terms, part cultural portrait, it offers a compelling look at what we keep, what we lose, and what endures.
