Niall Griffiths reviews Weights and Measure in Nation Cymru

“This book is, fundamentally, a paean of praise to human innocence and purity (quite apart from the notions of ‘racial purity’ that were fuelling the global abattoir of the times) and that part of the soul that will, in spite of all efforts to pollute it, remain unsullied … a profound respect and reverence for human resilience glows on every page of this book. Mary ‘couldn’t explain the feeling’ we are told, when she’s in bed with her husband post-coital as the world outside the window burns: ‘Necessary, was the word that would come closest to it’. That’s an apt phrase for this accomplished novel, too.”
