Amser Drwg Fel Heddiw gan Iwan Meical Jones

Amser Drwg Fel Heddiw by Iwan Meical Jones.

Amser Drwg Fel Heddiw by Iwan Meical Jones.

Llanrwst adeg yr Ail Ryfel Byd yw lleoliad nofel gyntaf Iwan Meical Jones, Amser Drwg fel Heddiw.

Y prif gymeriad yw Dr Lewis Huws, meddyg y dref. Wrth ddarllen amdano down i sylweddoli beth oedd gofynion cynnal practis cyn sefydlu'r Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol: cleifion yn talu i weld y doctor, talu am foddion a thabledi, ac yn aml y doctor ei hun yn cymysgu'r ffisig – y ffisig pinc bondigrybwyll a roddai, o bosib, wellhad corfforol ac yn bwysicach, esmwythder meddyliol. Apphia Davies yw howscipar Lewis, dynes â'i bryd ar drefnu bywyd ei bòs. Ac mae gwir angen trefn arno. Mae Lewis Huws yn berson simsan na all wneud penderfyniad ar ei grogi. Weithiau mae'r ffaeledd yn ddibwys – pa fath o wy i frecwast – ac weithiau yn ddifrifol megis canlyn a dewis cymar. Yn eironig, ei wendid ef sy'n rhoi cryfder i'r nofel ac mae agwedd ddi-dda, ddi-ddrwg y meddyg yn rhoi sawl plwc annisgwyl i'r naratif.
