“Identity and a sense of belonging is important to each of us. In Y Delyn Aur, the reader is treated to a candid insight into the author’s exploration of the facets of his identity... I couldn’t possibly recommend this book highly enough.”

Y Delyn Aur(The Golden Harp)
Shortlisted for Wales Book of the Year 202
A unique autobiography by a young author that leads us on a revealing, personal journey.
Malachy Edwards explores his mixed-race, multi-cultural and religious identity while tracing his family history in Wales, Ireland and Barbados. Against the background of recent Welsh and British history – including Brexit and Covid-19 – he writes honestly of his political and personal journey, encompassing as he does so some of life's great experiences, including the birth of his children.
The golden harp: a famous Welsh hymn-tune; the symbol on the front of an Irish passport. Edwards’ story reveals the human connection behind the symbol and, in a gentle yet compelling voice, speaks directly to deep rooted issues of our time.
