Twenty Thousand Saints by Fflur Dafydd

Fflur Dafydd’s first English-language novel is set during one hot summer on Wales’s mystical Bardsey Island, as past and present intersect painfully when the resident community is joined by a medley of incomers. The poet Mererid seeks a tranquil writing space away from her controlling boyfriend. Local curiosity Sister Vivien apprehensively prepares to host a conference of fellow hermits. Deian, an archaeologist who spent his youth on Bardsey until the mysterious disappearance of his mother, needs urgently to uncover past secrets.
