Review
"'Powys' great historical novel, Owen Glendower... is a book to handle, to make notes in, to savour... Brilliant' Margaret Drabble, The Guardian 'Beside Owen Glendower, with its largesse of recaptured life, nearly all historical novels are charade George Steiner, The New Yorker"
Product Description
It is the year 1400, and Wales is on the brink of a bloody revolt. At a market fair on the banks of the River Dee, a mad rebel priest and his beautiful companion are condemned to be burned at the stake. To their rescue rides the unlikely figure of Rhisiart, a young Oxford scholar, whose fate will be entangled with that of Owen Glendower, the last true Prince of Wales - a man called, at times against his will, to fulfill the prophesied role of national redeemer. Psychologically complex, sensuous in its language, vivid in its evocation of a period shrouded by myth, "Owen Glendower" tells a compelling story of war, love, and magic.
