Brittle with Relics is a landmark history of the people of Wales during a period of great national change.
''Richly humane, viscerally political, generously multi-voiced, Brittle with Relics is oral history at its revelatory best.''
DAVID KYNASTON
''Fascinating.'' OBSERVER
''Powerful.'' LITERARY REVIEW
''Inspired.'' GUARDIAN
Brittle with Relics is a vital history of Wales undergoing some of the country’s most seismic and traumatic events: the disasters of Aberfan and Tryweryn; the rise of the Welsh language movement; the Miners’ Strike and its aftermath; and the narrow vote in favour of partial devolution.
Drawing upon the voices of its inhabitants – includin Neil Kinnock, Rowan Williams, Leanne Wood, Gruff Rhys, Michael Sheen, Nicky Wire, Sian James, language activists, members of former mining communities and many more – this is a vivid portrait of a nation determined to survive, while maintaining the hope that Wales will one day thrive on its own terms.
