Welsh Women’s Classics: Harvest Home

Description

Stori Gothig, afaelgar am berchnogaeth, gwallgofrwydd a llofruddiaeth wedi’i gosod yn ‘Abercoran’ ar arfordir de-orllewin Cymru yn ystod teyrnasiad Siôr III. Dyma bortread telynegol, eithriadol o fywyd yn y Gymru wledig yn yr oes o’r blaen, ynghyd ag astudiaeth seicolegol o ŵr wedi’i yrru’n wallgof gan chwant.
A gripping Gothic tale of possession, madness and murder, Hilda Vaughan’s Harvest Home, first published in 1936, is set in ‘Abercoran’ on the south-west coast of Wales during the reign of George III. Outstanding in its lyrical evocation of a bygone Welsh rural life, Harvest Home is also a tautly-written psychological study of a man driven mad by desire.
