Aos Dàna - ‘The Dark Ship’ - Anne MacLeod
Anne MacLeod's beautifully written first novel of love and war is a Scottish best-seller. It tells a story of a people bound together by grief and history. As the Great War ends, a remote Hebridean Community is devastated by the sinking of the Iolaire, bringing troops home from France. More than 200 Lewismen perish and no family is left untouched. The book travels between the two World Wars spanning three generations of island families. Anne MacLeod works as a doctor in Inverness. An engaging reader, of poetry or prose, Anne often combines the spoken word with unaccompanied song.Date: 14/07/07
