4.5 ⭐ This is a book that is deeply personal to the author and you can really feel the passion and love that Mhara puts into her words. I felt connected to it from the start in its determination to bring forth books on Wales that are so lacking, although I am only just starting my journey into my Welsh heritage myself. The book is exactly what it sets out to be, which is a springboard into your own further research, and though it is not extensive as there's so much out there still to be explored, it is a really interesting starting point. Mhara is very transparent on which areas she has researched/experienced more than others, and tailors it so what she knows best. It has a little bit of repetition but that makes sense for the referencing layout. The bibliography and glossary are really useful, and there are exercises scattered around the book. I'll definitely be coming back to it to see which ones I can make work for me.
