The idiosyncratic and witty travelogue of a young Welsh-speaking woman who travels the globe in search of Welsh communities. - The acclaimed debut of a remarkably witty and engaging travel writer (Bill Bryson meets Jan Morris). Her next book will explore the world through its theme parks - At once a fascinating travelogue and an innovative book about the consequences of language. 'A delightful read - a marvellous mixture of wit, nostalgia, character description and atmosphere setting. Anyone who is Welsh, or who has connections with Wales, should read it, as should anyone who isn't, and hasn't, but who simply wants to work out what on earth is going on in the minds, hearts and mouths of those for whom Welsh is the language of heaven.'

From Patagonia to Singapore and other places unlikely to have Welsh influence, there is an attempt to come up with an overarching thesis on the Welsh language but doesn't quite get there. Instead, you finish the book with the tantalising question of whether the woman who accompanies Petro in her travels is her friend or her partner. ( )
