Donald Sinclair
One of the 20th Century’s finest – yet relatively unknown – Gaelic authors, Donald Sinclair was an outspoken, fierce champion of the Gaelic language, highly regarded by Sorley Maclean and Hugh MacDiarmid.
The fascinating story of one community’s fight for survival. The village of Rhenigidale was cut off for many years from the rest of Harris, in the Western Isles of Scotland. Kenneth Mackay led the fight for the road to be built.
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.
