This is a lively new translation from Welsh by the author, of her novel Y Goeden Wen. Nen is the enigma at the centre of the novel. One day she disappears, inspiring those closest to her to remember her. Through a range of other voices we come to know Nen, and to know of her fears, her desires and her longing.
