Cur i gCéill

by Celia de Fréine

Is síceolaí í Cass Ó Caoimh a bhogann go Conamara nuair a fhágtar ina baintreach í. Mar aon leis an bpostroinnt atá aici san Ionad Leighis áitiúil, glacann sí le post páirtaimseartha i gCeannáras na nGardaí mar shíceolaí fóiréinseach. Nuair a bháitear Niamh, cara a hiníne, creideann Cass gur dúnmharaíodh an ógbhean ainneoin an mhéid a cheapann an Bleachtaire Cigire, Tom Breasal, a hiarleannán. Le cúnamh ón iriseoir Gearóid, mac Tom, agus ó dhaoine a gcuireann sí aithne orthu, déanann sí bás Niamh a fhiosrú agus tugann scéal scáfar chun solais. San am atá díreach thart atá an coirscéinséir eachtrúil seo suite.

I read this book over a few months and I would not recommend doing this. I just got busy and didn’t make time to pick it up as often as I should have in order to be able to follow the plot closely. As a result, I found that I didn’t completely understand what was going on all the time and was a bit confused by the ending.

The book is written very nicely and colloquially and has a lovely flow. The Gaeilge is go hálainn freisin. I would recommend this book to someone who is able to read it over a short period of time.

Bhuel, fé dheireadh tá an leabhar seo léite agam, tar éis tuairim is dá bhliain de mhoilleadóireacht.

Agus, faraor, níor thaitin an úrscéal seo go mór liom. Cé gur maith an rud é mo chuid gaelainn a fheabhsú trí léitheoireacht, ag an am céanna, teastaíonn uaim sult a bhaint as an scéal atá á aithris.

Bhí fóphlota ann fé beirt deartháireacha, dá mbainfí as an úrscéal ní dhéanfí aon dochar don scéal ar fad. Bhí am caite amú ar an scéal sin. Nílim chun an deireadh a nochtadh daoibh, ach dar liomsa bhí sé scríofa fé dheifir, roimh an spriocdháta is dócha.

Ní mholfainn d'éinne é.
