‘In pencil-written and drawing-spattered
notebooks intended for her Australian granddaughter, an elderly woman, now in
Edinburgh, remembers and relives her Hebridean childhood.
The community thus recreated is one where modernity – its emblem the Electricity of Angus Peter Campbell’s
title – collides and overlaps with all sorts of linguistic, cultural and other
continuities. But this is no sentimental or elegiac excursion into a long-gone
past. What’s evoked here is a powerful sense of what it was, and is, to grow up
amid family, neighbours and surroundings of a sort providing, for the most
part, both security and happiness.’
Louise Welsh works in several forms including novels, short
stories, opera libretti, radio, performance and sound art. She has written nine
novels, most recently The Second Cut, the McIlvanney Prize shortlisted
follow-up to her classic debut The Cutting Room.
This event is sponsored by National Library of Scotland.
