man of Boswednack and one of the final guardians
of the traditional Cornish language. This novel
follows his life through time - from his youth,
through his quiet passion for the old tongue, to his
final days as his name begins to fade into the wind
of the land. Though the language was said to die,
its spirit lingered not in books, but in the voices of
rural people. John speaks the old words not with
formal education or written texts, but from
memory and heart. This is a tale of loss, love, and
the long watch for a language's return from the
dark.)
