Cuibhle an Fhortain

Description

Luath Press. 192 Pages. 

Fate fickle, mysterious and sometimes very cruel. From the outback of Australia to the Hebrides, from a city casino to the confines of sheltered housing, this collection of stories shows the hand of Fate at work in the lives and relationships of a wide variety of characters. There are the members of a writers group who learn a new and surprising lesson, a couple coming to terms with the restrictions of age, parents forced to acknowledge the growing maturity of their child, a man who makes a bargain with unforeseen results. In some stories, the characters encounter Fate in the guise of a stranger or unexpected visitor, or while experiencing significant sometimes life-changing events. In others, the characters are facing up to the effects of a fateful experience in their past. All the stories will leave you with as many questions as answers and make you think anew about the effect of Fate on all our lives.

Ged nach eil am briathrachas ro dhoirbh ann an Cuibhle an Fhortain, tha na sgeulachdan ann fhathast smaoineachail agus spòrsail, le deagh mheasgachadh de sgeulachdan aotrom is sgeulachdan nas doimhne… Tron leabhar, chleachd Mòrag Law cuspairean gu math farsaing is mòr, mar theaghlach, ach ghabh i iad ann an diofar slighean… Sin a tha cho soirbheachail le Cuibhle an Fhortain agus sgeulachdan ghoirid san fharsaingeachd – tha cead aig an ùghdar a bhith a’ cluiche le cuspairean agus stoidhlean ann an dòighean a tha daonnan inntinneach agus drùidhteach dhan leughadair. – Alexander Waters
