Twenty Thousand Saints
No Customer Reviews
Archaeologist Deian returns to the island of his childhood, where his mother disappeared without a trace. Sister Viv, closet heretic and host of the annual conference of hermits, has erected a gold plaque in her memory, declaring her official sainthood. Meanwhile, documentary-maker Leri is keen to portray the island's inhabitants as anything but saintly, pursuing a story that has less to do with birds and saints' bones than with real bloodshed. During this hot August week, a writer-in-residence observes lives colliding, as Bardsey Island twirls once more for the cameras...A black comedy about finds, losses, secrets, privacy and intrusion, and how the most important things always happen off-camera. "...buy a copy and then enjoy a truly Welsh novel that captures much of the Welsh spirit. This is the type of story that could only be written by a Welsh person."--Ninnau.
