Mòrag’s striking new novel, A’ Fàgail an Eilein, tells the
story of Màiri who, after finding an old concert-programme amongst her late
mother’s effects, is reminded of events in her own life, being 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 from the author of Dìleab Cholbhasach,
and Cuibhle an Fhortain shortlisted for the Highland Society of London Prize
for best fiction book at The Gaelic Literature Awards 2020.
Tha an nobhail ùr dhrùidhteach aig Mòrag, A’ Fàgail an Eilein, ag innse mu
dheidhinn Màiri a lorgas prògram airson cuirm a bhuineadh do a màthair nach
maireann. Fhad ’s a tha i a’ cur sùil air, tha cuimhneachain làidir a’ tilleadh
thuice air atharrachaidhean 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 airson an leabhar ficsein as fheàrr aig Na Duaisean Litreachais 2020.
