Flowers of War

Description

Pan gaiff yr awdur becyn bychan o lythyrau a phapurau yn ymwneud â brawd ei daid, a laddwyd yn Syria yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd, caiff ei arwain ar daith bersonol estynedig. Dyma archwiliad o hanes, dychymyg a’r cof, sy’n symud yn llyfn o hunangofiant i lyfr taith, o lythyrau a dyddiaduron i gofnodion swyddogol. Addasiad Saesneg gan Katie Gramich o Rhyw Flodau Rhyfel.
When the author is given a small package, containing letters and papers relating to his grandfather’s brother, who was killed in Syria during the Second World War, it leads him on an extended personal journey. An exploration of history, imagination and the process of memory, shifting imperceptibly from autobiography to travelogue, from letters and diaries to official records.
