I know this is mainly a USA site but if any Welsh or English are watching, you need to read this romatic historical fiction. I met Edwards at a book signing in Waterstones Cardiff, a charming man who persuaded me to buy it as 'The Braveheart for The Welsh'. You know, it is much more than that, a historical block buster, now I have to visit Anglesey to see the scenes he portrays so well and what a twist on twist of a plot!
