More about the book

Small-minded, malicious academic Dr. Llwyd McNamara has a grant to research the rugby player known as Big M, one of Wales’ biggest heroes. However, as he does research in his office, McNamara quickly discovers a link between rugby star Dylan Manawyddan Jones, the tragic accident that killed his brother Ben, and his own life: the luxurious yet strange Hotel Corvo on the west Wales coast. Even more curious is that McNamara’s rival claims there is an association between rugby and the Celtic myths of the past, leading him to question whether it is just an outlandish theory or something more. Written with ingenuity and intelligence, this unique retelling of the Third Branch of the Mabinogion: Manawydan, Son of Lyr is a hugely enjoyable tale.
