“The shitfaced baboon who is my husband went off a year and a half ago with you-know-who” – begins  Moira, one of a group of voices that make up this fast-paced, witty prize-winning novella from one of Wales’ best loved authors.

Published by Cinnamon Press, The Marionettes is the latest book from Herbert Williams.  The break-down of a marriage, the struggle to re-define identity, the effect on children… are all well worn themes, but in Williams’ hands they become fresh, vivid and urgent.

"…a good measure of sexual excitement, emotional damage, contempt, self-loathing and despair…It is contemporary, has psychological depth, is convincing, and entertaining" - Meic Stephens
