Kristoffer Hughes’ Branwen is a deeply personal account of a deity who is rooted in Welsh Mythology He begins with an engaging story of a childhood drawing of Branwen, but this is not a nostalgic book about a figure from the past but rather a living breathing goddess who has much to say about our modern world.
