Description
In this final volume of the Land of the Living series, two voices—those of the dead poet John Cilydd More and his youngest son Peredur—are bound together in a twin-track narrative that moves between memory, inheritance, and the living consequences of art. As Peredur confronts what has been left behind, the novel explores how language, conscience, and moral responsibility travel across generations, shaping identity even when the past seems silent. Humphreys’ distinctive, serious-minded style refuses to treat storytelling as mere entertainment, instead using intimate relationships and literary legacy to ask what it means to carry “good” forward. At its heart, the book is a meditation on attachment—familial, cultural, and spiritual—and on the fragile work of sustaining a people and a language into the future.
