Bred of Heaven Zusammenfassung

Bred of Heaven: One man's quest to reclaim his Welsh roots Jasper Rees

Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth, upbringing and temperament. In this singular, hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood, Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing, play, work, worship, think - and above all, speak - like one. On the way he meets monks, tenors and politicians, and tries his hand at rugby and lambing - all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales's rich history. Culminating in a nail-biting test of Rees's Welsh-speaking skill at the National Eisteddfod, this exuberant journey of self-discovery celebrates the importance of national identity, and the joy of belonging.

Bred of Heaven Bewertungen

A most entertaining and inspiring handbook for anyone who would really prefer to be Welsh - and who wouldn't? -- Jan Morris

An engaging, touching story told with humour and heart * Wanderlust *
Wonderfully readable, warm, funny and very entertaining -- Steve Dube * Western Mail *
