Synopsis

In the mid-eighties, four friends got together round a kitchen table and determined to give the women of Wales a voice: to bring back to life the voices of the past and find the classics of the future. 25 years later Honno Press is a thriving independent publisher - the only surviving independent women's press. This collection brings together a selection of the best of Welsh Women's writing taken from commissioned anthologies from every decade of Honno's working life. All Shall Be Well is an essential guide to the recorded and creative lives of the nation's women.

About this title

Review:

''Hooray for Honno! For a quarter of a century its classic and contemporary titles have been reminding us why Welsh women's voices should be nurtured and celebrated, why Welsh women's writing should be read and re-read. Wales, the UK, and the British literary scene would all be the poorer without Honno. I wish it every possible success as it heads into its next 25 years.'' --Sarah Waters

''Twenty-five years ago Honno began a revelatory publishing history that has become an essential facet of the whole culture of Wales.From classics, forgotten or neglected, to contemporary work across the creative and critical divides, it is Honno which has placed writing by and about women where it should always have been, at the centre of our past understanding and our future sensibility.'' --Dai Smith, Chair of the Arts Council of Wales

''Honno's story is one of heroic and necessary endurance; for a quarter of a century its workers have committed themselves to discovering new and innovative voices and to resurrecting unjustly neglected ones. A wonderful and incredible achievement that proves the colossal value of the written word.'' --Niall Griffiths
