Song of the Water

Description

Two stories (Welsh & English) set in the time of the early saints by Diana Powell. In ‘Gift’, we are submerged in the birth of St David in a visceral, watery account seen through his mother’s eyes. Non is said to have given birth to David on a clifftop in a terrible storm. ‘A Pilgrim’s Wife’ tells of St Gwenonwy ach Meurig, a Welsh noblewoman and saint linked to holy water.
