Nigheanan Mòra: Big Girls

by Catriona Lexy Campbell

Tha iad òg is làn spòrs, nigheanan òga sa bhaile mhòir cho toilichte 's a ghabhas … ach is e clach-mhìle a th' ann an tricheadamh cola-breith. Is nuair a dh'iarras Graeme air Jo a bana-chàirdean fhàgail airson fuireach còmhla ris-san, feumaidh Bell agus Anna rudeigin a dhèanamh airson stad a chur oirre.

Bell, Anna and Jo have been having a whale of a time together since they left university, but when Jo announces that she's moving in with her boyfriend life takes quite a jolt. Desperate measures are called for if Bell and Anna want to put a stop to this … or maybe they all need to grow up and behave better.

Catrìona Lexy Campbell's comedy of dating, matchmaking and relationship sabotage tackles the genuine challenges of friendship and adult responsibility with a combination of sensitivity and mischief. Anyone who never wanted to grow up, or still hasn't, will recognise themselves in her lively cast of characters.

[Lori Zuppinger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for intermediate Gaelic learners. It has English chapter summaries and some basic vocab notes. The plot was a bit like a silly sitcom episode but engaging and enjoyable - and nice to have a contemporary Gaelic story with mosh pits, meet-cutes and city-based (mis)adventures.
