The Brothers of Gwynedd

by Edith Pargeter

The Brothers of Gwynedd Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The story of Llewelyn, first true Prince of Wales, is the history of medieval Wales in dramatic and epic form. Llewelyn's burning vision is of one Wales, united against the threat of the English. But before he can achieve his dream, he must first tackle enemies nearer home. All three of his brothers hamper his efforts to create an independent state. The best-loved of the three, David, brought up throughout his childhood at the English court, restless, charming, torn between two loyalties, is fated to be his brother's undoing. Despite the support of his beloved wife Eleanor, Llewelyn finds himself trapped in a situation where the only solution is his own downfall and a tragic death.

Here, for the first time in one volume, is the entire saga of The Brothers of Gwynedd, including Sunrise in the West, The Dragon at Noonday, The Hounds of Sunset, and Afterglow and Nightfall.

Review:

"A richly textured tapestry of medieval Wales." Sunday Telegraph

Review:

"Strong in atmosphere and plot, grim and yet hopeful...carved in weathered stone rather than in the sands of current fashion." Daily Telegraph
