5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, 26 Jan 2008
By G. N. Jerman (Powys) - See all my reviews

This is such a well written story, with lots of warmth of character. Some subtle humour and lots of credibility.

The story of a young girl growing up in the west Wales countryside in more innocent times. Beautifully crafted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Piece of History, 25 Jan 2008
By S. Hurford "ceridwendilys" (Powys) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a lovely story about rural life in Wales in the 1930s. It would have been a help to me when I was writing my dissertation a few years back! It really gives you a great insight into what life was like back in rural Wales back then; a topic that I am not sure is covered that extensively. It holds a great interest for me, as my own Mam-gu (grandmother) would have probably lived like that & had the same thoughts and hopes as Blodwen. I also liked it as it approached the subjesct of war from a point of view that I have not heard documented that well before.

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in life in the early 20th century from a Welsh perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love From Blodwen, 6 Aug 2004
By Mr Bryn Havord (Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Love From Blodwen is a beautifully crafted memoir of the life of Margaret, a small girl who moved with her family from the valleys of industrial south Wales to rural west Wales in the 1930s. It is an evocative, enchanting and superbly written book giving us an intimate view of the minutiae of Welsh folk traditions, the influence of the chapel, and a sadly vanishing rural way of life. The inclusion of letters from Blodwen, Margaret's mother, to her close friend, Miriam make the book a part of Wales' social history. The letters, which open each chapter, provide a humourous picture of a community facing the economic, social and political upheaval on their daily lives, engendered by the impact of the Depression and World War II. The author weaves a captivating tapestry with descriptions of family members and the sagas of family life, and the enigmatic Collins, who appears on their doorstep one day, and who becomes an important part of her life. Although she has spent most of her adult life in England, the author has lost none of her Welsh talent for storytelling, and writes engaging and powerful prose. Finally, it was refreshing to find a book that lives up to the publisher's blurb on the back cover!
