This new edition of his songs – the first since 1899 – contains all 100 of his poems for which tunes could be identified, with music in staff notation, complete Gaelic texts and complete English translations.
Seonag Monk
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.
