Once again Cynan
Jones provides a powerful narrative, rich and yet tightly written.
As with Cove the sea
has a central role, and landscape and sea are given a life that help
to draw you into the heart of the drama.
Ideas around
identity, and the struggle between your desires and the hand life has
dealt you, are core to this story – or stories, the intertwining of
different peoples lives, out of the blue these unconnected people
have profound impacts on each other.
Jones once again
resists happy endings, good people who try hard don’t always win
out in the end. But the “bad guys” are shown to have complexities
– there is little that is black and white.
To have a consistent
output of this quality is remarkable.
