Standing on the Giant’s Grave

Description

Wedi’i seilio ar gofiannnau a dyddiaduron athrawes go iawn, dyma stori rymus Ellen Weeton. Y mae’n gaeth mewn priodas greulon a di-gariad, caiff ei gyrru at ymyl gwallgofrwydd lle nad oes lloches iddi yn ei chartref ei hun, ac mae’n colli’r peth anwylaf iddi hi ­ ei merch, Mary.
Diary extracts form the skeleton of this beautifully written memoir of the life of Ellen Wheeton. Set in the early 1820s in north-west England, it recalls the hardships of life endured by this woman and those around her.
