About the Author:
Emyr Humphreys is one of Wales's foremost novelists and author of 21 novels, including a past winner of the Somerset Maugham Award and works that are now set texts at A-Level. He is the author of volumes of poetry, short stories, cultural criticism and has also written a selected history of Wales, The Taliesin Tradition.
Review:
'The characters are splendidly human; consistent but surprising, as living people are, regarding each other with affectionate intolerance, as living people do. Mr Humphreys is skilful and percipient, but he has a rarer talent still: he appears to love his fellow men.' Daily Telegraph

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In National Winner, the sixth novel in the Land of the Living sequence, Amy Parry appears to have reached a summit of affluence and influence. As Lady Brangor, the widow of her third husband, she plans to create a cultural centre for women at Brangor Hall. These ambitious plans are impeded by the obsession of her youngest son, Peredur, with the mysterious death of his father, John Cilydd More, Amy's first husband, the poet and National Winner of the title. Her devoted stepson, Bedwyr, and her other son Gwydion, each with his own agenda and concerns, are also resistant to Amy's enthusiasms and practised charm. This is a family that has emerged from a tightly knit and recognisable society: each now in his or her own way, in spite of obstacles, seeks a path to fulfilment in a post-war period of unprecedented change. The 6th in the series, Amy, on the death of her husband, is now the mistress of Brangor Hall. However, it is the death of her 2nd husband Cilydd, a poet and Eistedfodd winner, that obsesses her younger son and fuels his dislike of her. Her other son Gwydion is also planning something.
