The new novel from Susan Fletcher, author of the bestselling ‘Eve Green’ and ‘Oystercatchers’.

1692. Corrag, a wild young girl from the mountains of Scotland, has been imprisoned as a witch. Terrified, in a cold, filthy cell, she awaits her fate of death by burning – until she is visited by Charles Leslie, a young Irishman, hungry to question her. For Corrag knows more than it seems: she was witness to the bloody and brutal Massacre of Glencoe.

But to reveal what she knows, Corrag demands a chance to tell her true story. It is a tale of passion and courage, magic and betrayal, and the difference that a single heart can make to the great events of history.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Woman's Heart and Mind
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2012

What an incredible novel. I felt gripped by my heart and my eyeballs from the first page to the last. It is mesmerizing, poetic, simple, straightforward and very original. I feel Susan Fletcher may be the literary equivalent of an actress like Meryl Streep, who inhabits her characters. For it surely was at times almost eerily like Ms. Fletcher was channeling the unique and wise woman Corrag. And Corrag - she is unique but also stands for so many women, long burned or drowned as witches, and many whose unheard voices are living today. The book was filled with a woman's sensibilities and understandings. I felt that the voice of Corrag was like the inner voice in my own head, rarely spoken or shared, but the world as I know it, as a woman and what those feelings are. She poured her story into the initially reluctant ear of Charles Leslie, a committed Jacobite and cleric, whose walls of intolerance and prejudice slowly erode in the face of Corrag's honesty and the beauty and pathos of her tale. She shows him everything that the world despises when it flings the word witch or hag or meddlesome piece at her is not her, is not alive in her at all, for what lives in her is her inheritance from her own wild mother, an ongoing intoxication with and reverence for the natural world. From a found feather, to a moth caught in her dark hair, or her broad rumped mare, her friend through much of her journey, Corrag treasures it all. "I'm for places, Mr. Leslie," she tells him, but by the end of her story her own walls have come down and Corrag lets love in, love of people who care for her, and one in particular who fills her heart. She knows she is altered by the expanse of life she has lived, and is grateful for it. Corrag is a person who knows life (even when it is difficult or downright awful) for the gift it is. I myself feel altered, and bettered by reading this book, the true gift of great literature.

Where do I begin... to me this book is a masterpiece!...like a musical composition that moves you to goosebumps all over. Yes at the beginning where Corrag rambles & calls her Mom by her first name you might get a little confused but then you realize the magic coming out of her mouth. She truly shows you how precious life & nature is! This truly is the best novel I ever read! To be human, to love, everyone & everything, & have a heart full of gratitude for this Beautiful World! Read this your ❤ will thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2015

Although this novel has two dark events at its core (The Massacre of Glencoe and the impending execution of the protagonist) it is anything but dark. It is a shining light of beauty and the love of both nature and humanity.

I was riveted from the first words of Corrag's narrative. Such descriptions of nature, and of winter weather in particular, are rare to find in modern fiction, and much of the prose here borders on poetry. Although the story itself is an engaging one, for me, the obsession with nature was by far the best thing about the book. Description can be tedious, but here it is never so.

The subject of witch trials and burnings is a controversial one among Pagans (of which I am one). Many of us know that "the burning times" have been greatly exaggerated in some circles, while at the same time historical "witches" have been made into whatever modern self-styled witches wish they had been. I waited for this book to stumble over these issues, and perhaps to fall in my estimation because of it, but for the most part it neatly side-steps these problems in favour of good story telling and remaining true to its characters.

As others have said, I'm sure that Corrag, and her view of life will stay with me for a long time. This is a very special book.

This book was for a book club I am in and I loved reading it. The descriptions of the natural world and the protagonist's relationship to it are beautiful. The story is about a woman struggling to live in a patriarchal society in which single women are considered witches and punished as so, even when their healing ways are sometimes helpful and sought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A small masterpiece
Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2022
Verified Purchase
What a gem of a novel! I seldom give a 5 star rating to books, but for me this one had it all - a heroine I couldn't help but love, a near perfectly constructed plot, a wonderfully poetic writing style and beautiful, mystical descriptions of the Scottish Highland countryside that never became too bogged down in detail. This is an historical novel whose events and characters are real, but the author has imagined the threads that tie them together and their thoughts and feelings. The theme of oneness with and respect for nature is ever-present. I won't go into details of the plot, as those can be found elsewhere. It was not exactly a page-turner, except toward the end but the beauty of the book was captivating and kept me thirsting for more.

I wasn't sure about this book after reading the first chapter but by the time I reached about chapter three I was excited to get home so I could read more. When I finished it I felt sad it was over - that's the sign of a good book! Wonderful storytelling with a simple yet beautiful charm which captivates you, juxtaposed with raw human struggles and horrendous experiences - combined you are drawn deeply into the world of the main character. Having visited the highlands of Scotland where the story is set (namely Glencoe) and being a lover of nature and the outdoors this book immersed me in a world I could quite easily imagine.
