About This Book
After the electricity goes out forever, Rowenna and her teenage son Dylan survive alone on the slopes of Nebo in Wales, writing their story in the blue exercise book they find. Manon Steffan Ros's Welsh-language novel, translated by the author, is a quiet post-apocalyptic meditation on memory and love.
