This is my second Welsh book and I'm sure I'll read another in time. I enjoyed the first two stories but the third just dragged on and on and on. From the beginning it was totally obvious what was going to happen and it took forever to get to an incredibly predictable conclusion. I stumbled a little more of the dilactic language in the last story as well, probably because the plot was so trite that I wasn't really paying that much attention. Definitely would have enjoyed the book more if the third story had been left out, or at least shorter.
