"The methodology ... is one perfectly suited to the present state of Welsh studies. In other words, the strategy will be to bring Welsh writing to wider attention by placing it in the context not of one but of two powerful, well established and enduringly popular fields of study - that of Irish Studies and of Women's Writing." M. Wynn Thomas, University of Wales Swansea'Peach provides an insightful introduction to a dynamic area of study that will no doubt prove an important step in its field.'Lucy Thomas, Planet 190 'Contemporary Irish and Welsh Women's Fiction is a wide-ranging study that certainly fulfils its aim to provide the young scholar or general reader new to this fiction with an introduction that will inspire further reading... this book... [is] a compelling and thought-provoking introduction, and a valuable contribution to Welsh - Irish and gender studies.' Laura Wainwright, Irish Studies Review, March 2009
