Y DefodauGweinydd yw Gwawr, sef un sy’n cynnal seremonïau enwi, priodasau ac angladdau digrefydd. Mae hi’n dda wrth ei gwaith ac yn falch o’i henw da. Fodd bynnag, mae rhywun yn gweithredu’n faleisus yn ei herbyn, yn benderfynol o’i dinistrio. Dim ond drwy ail-ymweld â chyfnod anoddaf ei bywyd y gall Gwawr ddarganfod pwy sy’n ceisio difetha ei gyrfa. Eto, daw cefnogaeth o gyfeiriadau annisgwyl. Gyda chymorth ei chleientiaid, dysga Gwawr wersi pwysig am gariad, colled, a’r angen i ymddiried ym mhobl eraill. Ond a fydd caniatáu iddi ei hun agosáu at ei chleientiaid yn arwain at ragor o boendod a thor-calon?
Gwales.com Goodreads BookShop.Uk "If you want a novel which contains pretty much the full panoply of human emotions then Y Defodau is precisely that. It’s not as if you haven’t been warned. The cover blurb by Sian Northey declares that seldom does a novel make her cry but that this one most certainly did. I’d suggest that perhaps that isn’t warning enough as I found myself pretty much shuddering at times and had the move the book lest the pages get tear-sodden. It’s what you might describe as having emotional maximum impact as Roberts puts you through the wringer and then some." John Gower, Nation.Cymru. |
