Riassunto

Bringing together an absorbing collection of writing by Welsh women, the stories within have been taken from the fiction and nonfiction anthologies published by Honno Press over the last 25 years. Fiction writers such as Patricia Duncker, Sian James, Sarah Jackman, and Jo Mazelis contribute tales of tangled relationships, discovery, loss, and love, and are told with wit and compassion. The nonfiction ranges from the horror of Belsen through the eyes of a Welsh nurse, to the swinging ’60s with Molly Parkin. Many of the pieces respond to the changes that have taken place in women’s social and political experiences in Wales and this thrilling range of work maps an undoubted realignment of emphasis in what women choose to write about.

Recensione:

''Hooray for Honno! For a quarter of a century its classic and contemporary titles have been reminding us why Welsh women's voices should be nurtured and celebrated, why Welsh women's writing should be read and re-read. Wales, the UK, and the British literary scene would all be the poorer without Honno. I wish it every possible success as it heads into its next 25 years.'' --Sarah Waters

''Twenty-five years ago Honno began a revelatory publishing history that has become an essential facet of the whole culture of Wales.From classics, forgotten or neglected, to contemporary work across the creative and critical divides, it is Honno which has placed writing by and about women where it should always have been, at the centre of our past understanding and our future sensibility.'' --Dai Smith, Chair of the Arts Council of Wales

''Honno's story is one of heroic and necessary endurance; for a quarter of a century its workers have committed themselves to discovering new and innovative voices and to resurrecting unjustly neglected ones. A wonderful and incredible achievement that proves the colossal value of the written word.'' --Niall Griffiths
