Pridd is a raw and uncanny portrait of the life of the Old Man as he lives out his days in the rural landscape of Pen Llŷn, north Wales, working the earth of the farm that is his home.

In his debut adult novel, Llŷr Titus gives literal and figurative voice to the landscape, and the earth which is our home. A haunting exploration of our relationship with place, tradition, grief and love.
