Description
Is beag amhrán is mó a luaitear le Ceantar na nOileán ná an t-amhrán a bhfuil aithne air inniu mar Amhrán na Trá Báine, caoineadh deirfíre do thriúr dearthár léi a báthadh nuair a chuaigh a gcurach go tóin poill. Athchruthú samhlaíoch atá san úrscéal seo ina dtugtar an léitheoir ar aistear thrí aigne Bhríd agus a hintinn ag gluaiseacht anonn agus anall sna blianta, tamallallachaí thiar sa mbaile ar an Trá Bháin, tamallachaí eile thall i mBoston, ach í ag filleadh arís agus arís eile ar an tragóid a mhúnlaigh a saol ina dhiaidh sin agus a bhfuil sé ag cinnt uirthi éalú uaidh.
A novel based on the life of Bríd Ní Mháille, who composed the songs ‘Amhrán an Bhá’ and ‘Amhrán South Boston’, both lamenting the drowning of her three brothers in Connemara. Bríd was in Boston at the time and she never returned to her native soil. However, her home, An Trá Bháin, was never far from her thoughts and she often spoke about how life might have been had she not emigrated.
