‘Seonag is born on a day where the clouds race each other across the sky.'

‘My father smiles in the way of parents who know more than a child who assumes, in childish folly, that they know more than their parents. That smile turns back in on itself much like that sentence.'

A folklore story, told to us by a clan story teller, although seemingly timeless, there is mention of guns, so it isn't set so historically. Scots-Gaelic is used throughout the story, although it is usually explained sufficiently, there is also depth to be gained from translation.
It is a short story, but time is still spent evoking the mysterious setting, and adding atmosphere.
It is not abundantly clear the message being passed on with the story, and is open enough to interpretation to be worth re-reading to take another view.
Short review for a short story. 4 stars.
