One of Scotland’s most famous inhabitants proudly presents (though not without a touch of embarrassment) the story of the Midges’ Independence Referendum, served up with a taster of Gaelic!
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
