At first glance, Gethin Thomas, a forester, leads a simple and ordinary life in his hometown in North Wales, but he has a secret: Ty Gwydre, an elegant glass house on the shore of a lake, which he looks after in the absence of its English owners. Over time, Ty Gwydre becomes Gethin’s favourite refuge, and he begins to think of the house as his own.
Gethin’s life is suddenly shattered when his first love, Olwen, now a successful film director in London, returns to his hometown with her husband and buys Ty Gwydre. Olwen and Gethin’s passion rekindles as they look to start over, but their story is marred by the memories of the Welsh-English standoff of the 1980s.
Francesca Rees, bestselling author of The Watcher, explores the impact of political events on the lives of ordinary people, masterfully intertwining personal drama and historical conflict. North Wales is revealed to the reader in all its beauty and complexity, and the story of Gethin and Olwen becomes a journey into the depths of human feelings, awakened by the echoes of the past.
