A novel exploring the tensions between the Welsh and the English. It's a passionate defence of cultural and political identity, and a plea for tolerance. It's also a sustained attack on the forces of small-town bigotry and corruption. But, above all, it's an acknowledgement of the subtleties and ambiguities that exist in even the most entrenched attitudes.

Nofel sy'n archwilio'r tensiynau rhwng y Cymry a'r Saeson. Ceir rhagymadrodd gan Dafydd Elis-Thomas, a dyfyniadau o gerddi R. S. Thomas a Gerallt Lloyd Owen. Pwysleisir gwerth hunaniaeth ddiwylliannol a gwleidyddol, ochr yn ochr â goddefgarwch, er gwaetha'r elfennau o dwyll a rhagfarn a geir mewn tref fach wledig.
