Y Dylluan Wen gan Angharad Jones

Y Dylluan Wen by Angharad Jones

Y Dylluan Wen by Angharad Jones

Nofel yw hon am ferch sydd yn cyrraedd pentref o'r enw Llan yn ei chlogyn du ar ddiwrnod gwlyb. Daeth yno er mwyn hyfforddi'r ysgol gynradd leol i lwyfannu drama Blodeuwedd. Mae rhyw ddieithrwch rhyfedd yn ei chylch ond mae yna rywbeth cyfarwydd ynglŷn â hi hefyd. Yn wir, mae rhyw ddieithrwch yn nechrau'r nofel hon pan sylweddolwn mai un o'r cymeriadau ydy'r dylluan wen.

Mae'r gwrthgyferbyniad rhwng gwynder a düwch, rhwng diniweidrwydd a drygioni, yn brigo i'r wyneb yn aml yng nghorff y nofel. Mae'r plant yn wyliadwrus o Myfi, yn rhedeg oddi wrthi, ond mae'r hen Mrs Rowlands sydd yn gweithio yn y gegin yn synhwyro fod yna ryw gyfrinach ynghlwm wrth hon gyda'i llediaith a'i hacen Americanaidd. O dipyn i beth fe ddatgela'r dylluan wen ei chyfrinach i ni. Camp Angharad Jones yw neidio o un person i'r llall o bennod i bennod. Try at y presennol yng ngŵydd y ferch fach Gwen a neidia yn ôl i'r gorffennol pan fydd Ifor Gruffydd yn cael ei ddarlunio. Taena Myfi ei hudlath ar Ifor fel Gwydion ar Blodeuwedd gynt a cheir disgrifiad cynnil iawn o'r ddau yn caru.
