The Long Dry by Cynan Jones

5.0

Another beautiful offering from Cynan Jones telling of a day in drought plagued rural Wales when a pregnant cow leaves the barn and wonders the fields. In that day Jones explores the farmers’ lives both in the family and the community. He captures a world, a lifetime, in a moment.

His beautiful prose paints a nuanced picture of the natural world and the rolling Welsh farmland. The stories and events that happen happen to all of us in a way from childhood to old age, life and death. Good things come in small packages.
