Come in for a wee strupak,
By Mamalinde "mamalinde" (Dallas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Loud Halo (Audio Cassette)
The Loud Halo picks up from the Ms. Beckwith's earlier books THE HILLS IS LONELY and THE SEA FOR BREAKFAST. This is the third of the series, I read them in order and am glad I did! The kettle is on the fire, a delightful strupak awaits the reader! Come into the charmed croft life of the spinster school teacher, milking the cows, gathering the eggs, beachcombing and gathering hay. The antics of the sheep and cows are much more amusing that than of a miserly English visitor (with a doctor of divinity and not an ounce of human kindness). The gentle nuances of language keep the reader smiling - "just a dress she inhabited from her granny when she died." Or "corp" the singular of "corpse." The book also contains a delightful little list of Gaellic translations and pronounciations. While the story is a delight, significant clouds appear on the horizon - progress looms in the form of electricity and water supply, the 20th century is trying to intrude. Alas, lady in distress, who might be the companion? --Silly Old Cailleach Mamalinda
