Shadowlands by Matthew Green review — the melancholy beauty

Little Mix's Perrie Edwards and son Axel look unrecognisable after incredible Ratatouille transformation for Halloween These places were lost for many various reasons for me the most striking story is that in Chapter eight, which he calls the Village of the Damned. That being the village of Capel Celyn in Wales, a village lost due to man’s need for water resources. While as an urban historian I have recently been looking at how Manchester gained its water from the Lake District and its disregard for the locals. This story is far more poignant as this removal of the people, the village is now under a water reservoir serving the people of England. How Green rebuilds the human stories and their fight is so striking and meaningful.

Violent political unrest in the fifteenth century reduced the long-gone town of Trellech in South-East Wales to a desperate and starving village, just as the mighty first Edward, Hammer of the Scots and King of England turned his fire on Wales, decimating the country as he did.

Something of a disappointment as this should have been right up my street. Unfortunately the writing is very overdone, and for me it landed as a bit pretentious and not very readable. DNF around 60%. Green’s unique style of writing spreads this world before the reader. It is descriptive and beautiful as it rises and falls, it shouts and whispers and it renovates with the power of conviction and truth.
