Reviews
'The Best of Friends is...part of a sequence which, when completed, will have described the processes of growth, change and decay which have made Wales what it is today. For such a task Mr Humphreys is eminently well qualified.' Goronwy Rees, TLS 'A great novel.'Western Mail 'Emyr Humphreys tells a sensitive story of Welsh life with tact and sureness.'Financial Times 'Emyr Humphreys is the sort of writer who would be in the running for a Nobel prize if Wales had lobbyists in Stockholm.'Observer 'The touch and smell of pri-mordial Wales are magisterially transmitted.'Sunday Times 'The supreme interpreter or Welsh life.'R.S. Thomas 'One of the most masterful yet natural-seeming authors of fiction in these islands today.'Scotsman
