About this Book Saoil càit an d’ fhuair a màthair am prògram seo? Cha b' ann bhuaipse a thàinig e...Air latha gruamach, geamhradail ann an 1997, am measg leabhraichean a màthar nach maireann, tha Màiri a’ lorg prògram airson cuirm shònraichte a ghabh àite ann an Glaschu, 1965. Fhad ’s a tha i a’ cur sùil air, tha cuimhneachain làidir a’ tilleadh thuice air na h-atharrachaidhean uile a thachair anns an teaghlach agus na beatha fhèin nuair a bha i air stairsneach inbheachd. Ciad ghaol. Tinneas. Imrich, an-fhois, dìomhaireachd is dùbhlain. Agus a’ fàs neo-eisimeileach ann an dòigh nach robh dùil idir aice. Seo a’ chiad nobhail bho ùghdar Dìleab Cholbhasach, agus Cuibhle an Fhortain a bha air geàrr-liosta Duais Chomann Gàidhealach Lunnainn 2020 airson an leabhar ficsein as fheàrr. On a bleak winter’s day in 1997, Màiri finds an old concert-programme amongst her late mother’s effects. As she turns the pages it rekindles powerful memories of events in her own life – and that of her family – at that particular time, when she was twelve years old and still living on Skye. First love. Uncertainty. Illness. Secrecy. Changes and challenges. And finally, finding a new independence which she could never have foreseen. This is the first novel for the author of ‘Dìleab Cholbhasach’, and ‘Cuibhle an Fhortain’ shortlisted in the best fiction category for the Gaelic Society of London prize.
