Description

Nofel grefftus sy’n archwilio hanes y genhedlaeth goll o Wyddelod a gydnabyddir y ‘genhedlaeth goll neu dawel’, cenhedlaeth a welodd dros hanner miliwn o bobl yn ymfudo – i Brydain yn bennaf – i chwilio am waith yn dilyn yr Ail Ryfel Byd, gan gyfrannu at adeiladu economi Lloegr cyn ei ddinistrio unwaith eto.
This well-crafted novel is one of the few novels in either Irish or English that explores this generation of Irish people, often termed the ‘silent’ or ‘lost generation’ when over a half-a-million people emigrated, primarily to Britain to work in the post-war economy there – ‘building England up and tearing it down again’.
