ABSTRACT
This second extract from Daniel Owen’s Rhys Lewis shows his skill at developing atmosphere and drawing his readers into a compelling narrative – a skill noted by the poet and critic T. Gwynn Jones when he observed of Owen that ‘ysgrifennwr ystraeon ydoedd, a bod ei straeon yn rhai na fedr dyn ddim peidio â’u darllen, unwaith y bydd wedi dechrau’ – ‘he was a writer of stories, and that his stories are the kind that, once started, one cannot stop reading’.
