Causeway: A Passage From Innocence - Plot & Excerpts

That’s what my cousins tell me. People come to them when they have problems doctors and priests can’t solve. They also have the power to make bad things happen. One of them is our grandmother, Peigeag.
Once my grandmother was helping a young woman to have a baby. The woman wasn’t married. Plus, there was something seriously wrong with the baby, and it made a mess coming out. It almost killed the mother. My grandmother was so angry she put a curse on the unknown father, even though it could have been someone she knew and cared about. That’s what my cousins told me, and there is no doubt in their minds that the man who was the father of that poor baby would suffer as much as the woman did—unless someone with equal powers took the curse off him.
The curse is called the buidseachd. And it always seems to be women with the power to put it on or take it off. You rarely ever hear of a man putting the buidseachd on somebody, or having the special power to do things.
My Aunt Veronica, for example, reads tea leaves and predicts the future—and she usually gets it right.
