Book excerpt: Mona Jones has been on the run all her life without really knowing why. Her parents were murdered, and now, at twenty-one, her uncle and protector is dead too… This dramatic chain of events compels Mona to spend time amid a Welsh-speaking community in Ynys Môn, also known as Anglesey. It is here that her druidic ancestry begins to emerge, identified more quickly by those around her. Attacked by an enemy druid, Mona quickly finds herself at the centre of an intense druid civil war. Branded with 'the mark', she unleashes her power, only to discover she also has a terrible weakness. Mona quickly finds herself drawn to the warrior Cai, but they are soon separated when the community's fleet is lured out to sea by the threat of an Irish attack. With the Welsh druids convinced she is a spy working amongst them, Mona's uncontrollable power explodes for a second time. The Welsh druids must decide if Mona is their saviour or their destroyer. A fast-moving, contemporary action story, Hiraeth is a trilogy inspired by the ancient Celtic texts of the Mabinogion and the Ulster Cycle. The story has been woven into an epic power struggle, which straddles myth, Celtic identity and adventure.

Book excerpt: For readers of H Is for Hawk, an intimate memoir of belonging and loss and a mesmerizing travelogue through the landscapes and language of Wales Hiraeth is a Welsh word that's famously hard to translate. Literally, it can mean "long field" but generally translates into English, inadequately, as "homesickness." At heart, hiraeth suggests something like a bone-deep longing for an irretrievable place, person, or time—an acute awareness of the presence of absence. In The Long Field, Pamela Petro braids essential hiraeth stories of Wales with tales from her own life—as an American who found an ancient home in Wales, as a gay woman, as the survivor of a terrible AMTRAK train crash, and as the daughter of a parent with dementia. Through the pull and tangle of these stories and her travels throughout Wales, hiraeth takes on radical new meanings. There is traditional hiraeth of place and home, but also queer hiraeth; and hiraeth triggered by technology, immigration, ecological crises, and our new divisive politics. On this journey, the notion begins to morph from a uniquely Welsh experience to a universal human condition, from deep longing to the creative responses to loss that Petro sees as the genius of Welsh culture. It becomes a tool to understand ourselves in our time. A finalist for the Wales Book of the Year Award and named to the Telegraph's and Financial Times's Top 10 lists for travel writing, The Long Field is an unforgettable exploration of “the hidden contours of the human heart.”

Book excerpt: Dreaming of Hiraeth is a heart-rending tale about a true testament of friendship, drawing on a deeper meaning on what it means not just to survive, but to live. Julian Hayes--the moon: loner, introvert, dreamer--is haunted with the guilt of his actions one scarring night six years ago, when he ran away against his will from his twisted home, leaving him unable to remember most of his childhood. Theo Wilson--the sun: bright, bold, realist--was dropped off on the front steps of a group home as a newborn, with a record of the group and foster homes he has run from. No two people could be more opposites than Julian and Theo--yet they have more in common than most would believe. Both orphans, living in a group home in Brooklyn's Fort Greene, they suffer from dark pasts as they try to navigate their youth in the bustle of New York City and pave a worthy future for themselves. Despite their falls, secrets, adventures, and the many obstacles stacked against them, the best friends learn that perhaps the key to their survival is in each other--and that the fight is not in the fall, but the rise. A coming-of-age story about adolescence's innocence and life's meaning, Dreaming of Hiraeth deals with the realities of the foster care system, racism, sexuality, mental illnesses, and addiction in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Hiraeth written by Fairyal Allybocus and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIRAETH gently explore the feelings and life lessons associated with love, suffering, disappointment, cruelty, loss and healing. It depicts the nostalgia of a moment that was sublime and which has left nothing but pain and feelings of unworthiness. This collection is an attempt to empower the delicate men and women who, having been abandoned without concerns, consequences or care, are seeking some light in order to get out of the profound darkness of unexplained desertion, people who are trying to regain their self-confidence so that they learn to stop making excuses for the boorish behavior of others; that heartbreak and profound disappointment and melancholy can be transformational, as the broken down metamorphoses into the wholesome and nourishing again. In other words, every handicap, every letdown, every callous attempt on one's integrity does not need to cripple, but instead it pushes one to draw on one's inner strength and moral vibrancy when facing the coldness of rejection where once only warmth and comfort used to be.

Download or read book Hiraeth written by Miriam and published by Writersgram. This book was released on 2021-07-09 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being human in the 21st century is no easy task and being a functional human is an even harder task. Hiraeth is not a work of fiction but rather deals with the everyday battles that we fight in the silence of our own minds and our quest for a home. Hiraeth was written for the ones who feel like they don’t belong, the ones who don’t fit in, and for the lost and disoriented among us who long - not for a home made of four walls but one made of safety and warmth. From works that deal with the questions and dilemmas of artists and creators to observational pieces on urban life and society as the poet sees it, the collection has a piece that will appeal to anyone who is longing for a connection. Feminist pieces which will strike a chord with anyone who has faced discrimination or abuse because of their gender or identity are part of the collection which also strongly deals with issues of mental health, mostly pulled from the poet's own life and experiences. The seemingly eclectic collection is tied together by the universal longing and the search for home, the emotion behind the name - Hiraeth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years on the outside, Bulgaria has finally made it into the EU club, but beyond the clichés about undrinkable plonk, cheap property, and assassins with poison-tipped umbrellas, the country remains a largely unknown quantity. Born on the muddy outskirts of Sofia, Kapka Kassabova grew up under Communism, got away just as soon as she could, and has loved and hated her homeland in equal measure ever since. In this illuminating and entertaining memoir, Kapka revisits Bulgaria and her own muddled relationship to it, travelling back to the scenes of her childhood, sampling its bizarre tourist sites, uncovering its centuries' old history of bloodshed and blurred borders, and capturing the absurdities and idiosyncrasies of her own and her country's past.

Download or read book The Warlow Experiment written by Alix Nathan and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the best books of 2019 by the Daily Mail, The Sunday Times (London), and the BBC An utterly transporting and original historical novel about an eighteenth-century experiment in personal isolation that yields unexpected--and deeply, shatteringly human--results. "The best kind of historical fiction. Alix Nathan is an original, with a virtuoso touch." --Hilary Mantel Herbert Powyss lives in an estate in the Welsh Marches, with enough time and income to pursue a gentleman's fashionable investigations and experiments in botany. But he longs to make his mark in the field of science--something consequential enough to present to the Royal Society in London. He hits on a radical experiment in isolation: For seven years a subject will inhabit three rooms in the basement of the manor house, fitted out with rugs, books, paintings, and even a chamber organ. Meals will arrive thrice daily via a dumbwaiter. The solitude will be totally unrelieved by any social contact whatsoever; the subject will keep a diary of his daily thoughts and actions. The pay: fifty pounds per annum, for life. Only one man is desperate to apply for the job: John Warlow, a semi-literate laborer with a wife and six children to provide for. The experiment, a classic Enlightenment exercise gone more than a little mad, will have unforeseen consequences for all included.
