'Emyr Humphreys is one of the most gifted contemporary novelists. He has an instinctive sense of the ways in which men and women are shaped by their environment, an eye for the incident that reveals character, a deep feeling for the poetry which is part of everyday life and for the rhythms in which it expresses itself in ordinary speech.' Goronwy Rees, The Spectator
