In this short quiet book, Jan Morris, the inveterate traveler, shares what she came home to in Wales, her stone and slate stable-turned-house, Trefan Morys. “Trefan Morys is a house of deep resilience, but life comes and goes through it, as through everything else,” she writes (p. 116). The home she describes is in and of nature, an abode of Pan, and must have been a retreat from politics and the complexities of culture and nationalism that she often wrote about. What she describes is not so much a house as a way of life, one that is enviable but also perhaps achievable for any of us. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting it.
