Crann-fìge

A new collection of short stories from the author of Tocasaid ’Ain Tuirc, bringing the same sharp wit and observational skill to this evocation of Lewis life and people from last century intertwined with stories situated elsewhere, and giving as authentic a voice to an angry child’s resentment, a woman’s regret or an old man’s fears. Duncan Gillies is from Knockaird, in Ness, the northern tip of the Isle of Lewis. Crann-fìge is his fourth published collection of short stories and the first book of his in which Gaelic and English appear together, side by side.
