The Crows are Crying

Marie Campbell
Semi Autobiography

This wonderful story is about Bridgit Ryan and her younger sister Elizabeth, who heard the screams of their mother, dying in childbirth. Their broken-hearted father sent them to a convent, to be raised by nuns, because he couldn't look after them. Soon the sisters where fostered out the Hebridian island of Fada, due to their father dying in war.

Once they were teenagers, Elizabeth went to live with a family in America and Bridgit went to find work on the mainland, where, young and innocent, she had many trials.

This is a heart warming story that conjures up the magic of the Hebridian Islands in a bygone era at the turn of the century and follows Bridgits adventures and trails in Glasgow and on a farm before returning to Fada where her life unfolds with a surprise ending.
