Love And Music Will Endure (2014)
“The house had never seemed so empty. The wake, with all the stories and songs, had briefly conjured up life like Na Fir Chlis who swirled and swooped across the heavens. They disappeared as suddenly as they had come and left the sky doubly dark. How strange it was to sit here so idle. She spread out her blotched hands with their swollen joints. For so many years she had been so busy, filling every moment. That busyness had stolen her life away, as it did for people who had spent time with the F...airies. Their time with them would seem to pass in a flash but when they returned home they found that years had gone by and everyone had grown old and grey.
When she looked back at her life it seemed like a river. For the first part before she left Skye it wandered like the Snizort, winding down to the sea. Those early days spent under the cloud-wrapped hills, tending the crops and the animals, seemed to stretch back as far as her eye could see. Her life since she came to Inverness had drawn her along the current of the broad River Ness, its waters swelling and teeming as she spent years carrying the cargoes of husband and family.MoreLess
