'In pencil-written and drawing-spattered notebooks intended for her
Australian granddaughter, an elderly woman, now in Edinburgh,
remembers and relives her Hebridean childhood. The community thus
recreated is one where modernity - its emblem the Electricity of
Angus Peter Campbell's title - collides and overlaps with all sorts
of linguistic, cultural and other continuities. But this is no
sentimental or elegiac excursion into a long-gone past. What's
evoked here is a powerful sense of what it was, and is, to grow up
amid family, neighbours and surroundings of a sort providing, for
the most part, both security and happiness.' JAMES HUNTER
