[English below]
Leis an Dàrna Cogadh air aire a’ mhòr-shluaigh, tha boireannach òg a’ leantainn a caraid gu tìr-mòr airson beatha agus fèin-aithne ùr a ghabhail, mar dhealan-dè, ’s i a’ fàgail a cochall às a dèidh.

Chan eil sgeul a-nis air Flòraidh chiallach à Barraigh; seo a-nis Laura chealgach à Dùn Èideann.

Tha Seonag Monk na preasantair rèidio, is i air iomadh bliadhna a chur seachad ag obair aig a’ BhBC. Ach, nuair nach eil i san stiùidio, bidh i a’ sgrìobhadh leabhraichean ficsein. Tha a stoidhle siubhlach, agus aig amannan èibhinn, ri leughadh ann am (Acair, 2016), irisean STEALL, agus anns an nobhail as ùire aice, (Acair, 2026).

Bidh Seonag ann an còmhradh le Maureen NicLeòid, preasantair rèidio agus riochdaire TBh, agus bidh ceòl ann cuideachd bhon t-seinneadair Kathleen NicAonghais, agus James Ross air a’ phiàno.
