Description
The Best of Friends is the second of seven novels which make up The Land of the Living, a series which is one of the finest achievements of Welsh writing in English.
A highly acclaimed novelist, Emyr Humphreys has won the Somerset Maugham Award and the Hawthornden Prize, and was awarded the Arts Council of Wales Book of the Year in 1999 for his recent novel The Gift of a Daughter.
“The Best of Friends ‘is that rarity, a serious novel that is also immensely entertaining.” –Birmingham Post
“Mr Humphreys’ keen grasp of period gives the book a solid authenticity.” –Anthony Thwaite, The Observer
“The Best of Friends is . . . part of a sequence which, when completed, will have described the processes of growth, change and decay which have made Wales what it is today. For such a task Mr Humphreys is eminently well qualified.” –Goronwy Rees, The Times Literary Supplement
“ . . . one of the finest achievements of Welsh writing in English. Already it is clear that Emyr Humphreys is our greatest living novelist.” –Western Mail
