Details
Life on the whole was pretty meaningless, yet full of significant events.
Set in Swansea between the 1960s and 80s, Luggage from Elsewhere follows the lives of a group of friends as they grow up, experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol and political activism in post-industrial South Wales. Seen through the eyes of one of their number, they experience first love, death, unemployment and betrayal and search for personal identity in a world where neither past nor future are certain.
Aneurin Gareth Thomas was born in 1963 and brought up in Gorseinon, Swansea. He spent many years in Madrid and now lives in Brecon. This is his first novel.
A dazzling and devastating account of a bitter-bitter-sweet Old South Walian childhood and adolescence. - Rachel Trezise
An extraordinary debut novel - Big Issue
Another Thomas is born; as dark as Gwyn, as playful as Dylan, as raw as Ed! - Ian Rowlands
