Description
In this profound novel, Emyr Humphreys masterfully explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for self amidst profound loss. An archaeology lecturer and his wife retreat to the sun-drenched landscapes of Tuscany following a family tragedy, seeking solace and escape. However, the ancient Etruscan culture and the strained dynamics of their friendships reveal unsettling truths about their marriage and Aled's own identity. As Aled grapples with disillusionment and a fractured sense of self, he embarks on a poignant journey of spiritual discovery, ultimately returning home with a heavy heart and a hard-won, if incomplete, wisdom.
