Teaser Tuesday: The Brothers of Gwynned by Edith Pargeter

I am about to do something that I don't recall doing before. I am not going to say that I have never done it, but I don't remember it. I am going to quote from the same book for two weeks running, mainly because I still am not all that far into the book.

So my teaser this week is again from the first part of The Brothers of Gwynedd which was originally published as Sunrise in the West, this time from page 107:

For these family relationships with their hates and loves were the trammel and bane of Wales as they were of the marches, and indeed, from all I could ever learn, of England and France and those troubled realms beyond the see no less. And the more the great laboured to make dynastic marriages, the more they tied their own hands, and put into other hands knives for their own backs. Their histories and ours was ever a chronicle of such expulsions and revenges, the tide of fortune flowing now this way, now that, and never safe or still.

It is likely that over the next couple of months there may be more teasers from this book. We'll see what else I am reading each Tuesday!


Please note that this teaser comes from an Uncorrected Advance Readers Copy so the final contents may change slightly.
