When he smiled it really did feel as if the chilly Caernarfonshire wind had stopped for a few seconds and as if the place had suddenly got warmer.
When Miriam fell in love with Padraig life seemed simple. But soon she discovered that love is a treacherous business. Everything changed when she met Daniel. She was taken down an unexpected path which would dictate and dominate the rest of her life.
Spanning three generations of a North Wales family in a Welsh-speaking community, Miriam, Daniel and Me is an absorbing and compelling story of family discord, political turmoil, poetry, jealousy…and football.
Euron Griffith
Born in Bangor, Euron Griffith has a Creative Writing MA from the University of Glamorgan. Between 2011 and 2016 he published three novels in Welsh – Dyn Pob Un (about a TV researcher who becomes an accidental serial killer), Leni Tiwdor (about a private eye who is also a record collector) and Tri Deg Tri (about a hitman who can talk to animals), and a children’s novel Eilian a’r Eryr. His English language short story collection, The Beatles in Tonypandy appeared in 2017 from Dean Street Press, and in 2020 Seren published his first novel written in English, Miriam, Daniel and Me. His poetry has also been published in The Spectator.
Griffith lives in Cardiff, where he works as a radio and TV producer and plays in a band. His memoir, revolving around t-shirts he has owned at various points in his life, was published by Seren in 2024.
” Given his previous experience, it isn’t altogether surprising that his narrative techniques provide a lot of the interest … The story is not linear; it switches back and forth between generations quite a lot and hence between points of view … the switches of time and viewpoint may at first seem arbitrary but are in fact carefully orchestrated.”
Sheenagh Pugh, Live Journal
“A rich, family saga that gives a varied, believable tale that sinks into you like a warm knife through butter.”
Books 'n' Banter
‘…a confidently crafted novel about time, change and enduring love… and the seemingly random decisions that are made and borne by the generations who follow.’
Ed Thomas
Euron Griffith talks to Jon Gower about the inspiration behind Miriam, Daniel and Me and it’s characters at the online launch with readings by Rakie Ayola.
