Book Review

Pridd gan Llyr Titus

Pridd by Llyr Titus

Dyma gyfrol ryddiaith gyntaf Llŷr Titus ar gyfer oedolion. Bywyd hen ŵr o gefn gwlad Llŷn sy'n cael ei bortreadu yn y nofel a hynny drwy gyfrwng y tymhorau sydd mor annatod i fyd amaethyddiaeth. Mae'n stori sy'n berthnasol i bawb sydd â chysylltiad â chefn gwlad. Yr hyn sy'n cyfoethogi'r gyfrol yw nad at arferion bob dydd y gymdeithas honno y cyfeirir atynt ond at feddyliau a theimladau pobl – cawn glywed be sy'n corddi'r isymwybod. Mae'r cyfan yn drist o gyfarwydd. Mae hynny'n gweddu i gymeriad yr hen ŵr gan nad yw'n un sy'n barod iawn i ddatgelu ei deimladau. Yn gefnlen i'r cyfan mae'r tir, natur a rhod y tymhorau, a does dim dianc rhag y llwynog sy'n llercian. Yn araf y down i adnabod y bobl sydd wedi bod yn rhan annatod o fywyd yr hen ŵr ac am ei berthynas gyda'i ddiweddar wraig, gan sylweddoli pam mai "cyd-fyw ar wahân" oedd y ddau. Fel y mae'r gyfrol (a bywyd go iawn) yn dangos, rhyw flerwch yw bywyd sy'n llifo i'w gilydd. Camp Llŷr Titus yw portreadu hynny.
