Shaped by questions of power, of the role of the military in economy, of local identities under threat and thrown in sharp relief in a Welsh speaking context, there is a lot going on in this novel, and I found it hard to keep up with it all at times.
The characters, and it is a big cast, risk being caricatures – they have clear roles in the story and perhaps lack a roundedness, motivations lack some of the complexity that typifies real life.
There was a lot to like about it, and wanted to connect with it but something didn’t quiet click for me unfortunately.
