Corrag explains her childhood in England, about her mother who was hung for witchcraft, her flight to Scotland where she came under the protection of the McDonald clan of Glencoe, and above all her joy in small things, her love of and deep compassion for people and animals, her knowledge of herb lore and above all her great understanding and embracing of life, after having had such a hard existence.

She speaks of her Mother and Grandmother both condemned as witches. How her Mother told her to flee and she would know where she was meant to be when she saw it. Her tale involves hardship, loss, death, beauty, hope, resiliency and ends with friendship. Corrag tells how she found the Highland and befriended the Macdonald clan when she was able to save their leader using her herbs and stitching skills.

Update: I’ve just finished reading this for a third time, via audiobook. It was excellent yet again. Maybe even better this way, if that is possible!]D&D leaks: The Wild Beyond the Witchlight & Curriculum of Chaos". Geek Native. 2021-06-05 . Retrieved 2021-06-07. I learned about the Jacobites. They supported the exiled Catholic Stuart Kings, here King James II. I learned about the Massacre of Glencoe - on a frosty winter’s morning in 1692 King William III and his redcoats slaughtered men, women and children of the Scottish MacDonald Clan. Why? Although they had indeed signed an oath of allegiance to King William, it was done six days too late, six days after the deadline. Before they had been loyal to King James II. This book is told through Corrag's voice and the letters which Irish propagandist and Jacobite, Charles Leslie writes to his wife. Charles Leslie heard of the massacre and came to visit Corrag in her cell where she is chained and awaiting her death. She has been accused of witchcraft and murder. Corrag agrees to tell him her story so that the truth comes out and that she will not be alone in her final days. Charles is hoping to gain evidence that will prove that King William was involved in the Murder/Massacre so that King James could be reinstated. Mostly, she sees the good in the world, the light where there is dark... She sees beauty where we mostly pass it by. But tonight, she was heavy-hearted. I think sometimes she unfolds all her losses and stares at them, in the dark.” Witch Light’, the 2010 novel published by British novelist Susan Fletcher, is an embellished account of the story of Corrag: a character of Scottish folklore also known as ‘The Witch of Glencoe’. Whether Corrag is indeed a historical figure is a matter of some debate, but the event at the centre of the novel — the Glencoe Massacre — is a recorded event in Scottish history, taking place in 1692. Alternatively titled ‘The Highland Witch’ or ‘Corrag’, Fletcher’s novel is a beautiful retelling of a life the supposed witch might have lived, expressed in amazingly vivid prose that seamlessly transports the reader to the heights of the Scottish Highlands.

I’ve been mostly out of doors, on my own, with no soul but my own to talk to—so when I have a person with me I talk and talk and talk. Was I that bad? Were you tired last night? I am glad that you are here again...I will give you what you need, in time. This passage leads me to be predisposed to like Corrag and believe she is good before I know any of her story. Your heart’s voice is your true voice. It is easy to ignore it, for sometimes it says what we’d rather it did not – and it is so hard to risk the things we have. But what life are we living, if we don’t live by our hearts? Not a true one. And the person living it is not the true you. I hear them drag the wood for me, even through the snow. They wait for a thaw, I think. When it thaws, they will come for me, and burn me on that wood—

Corrag is a beguiling and sensitive heroine and Fletcher's powers of description are as strong as ever in her third novel' This book has practically left me speechless, but I'll do my best: luminous, poetic, profound, lush, divinely crafted sentences that left me in awe, a heroine so lovely and courageous that she lingers on in my imagination. Simply the best book I've read in recent memory, and I have read some terrific books. a b "What D&D: Wild Beyond The Witchlight's Two New Races Are". ScreenRant. 2021-09-21 . Retrieved 2021-09-21. This is a very special book, one which some would say I don't know where to start my review but I do , I know because Corrag is an exceptional character who has emptied her heart in the telling of this story and in doing so she has filled mine to the brim.
