Library of Wales: Ash on a Young Man’s Sleeve

Description

Nofel a enillodd ganmoliaeth am ei hiwmor cynnes, ei harddull delynegol a gonestrwydd y portread o gyfnod y 1930au yw Ash on a Young Man’s Sleeve, gan dyfu’n glasur. Yn y gyfrol hunangofiannol hon, mae Dannie Abse yn plethu’n grefftus themâu cyhoeddus a phreifat, gan osod helyntion teulu Iddewig yng Nghymru yn erbyn cefnlen gythryblus y cyfnod.
Widely acclaimed for warm humour, lyricism and honesty, as well as its accurate evocation of the thirties, Ash on a Young Man’s Sleeve has become a sung-after classic. In this delightful autobiographical novel, Dannie Abse skilfully interweaves public & private themes, setting the fortunes of a Jewish family in Wales against the troubled backcloth of the times.
