We found Witch Light tender, haunting, and quietly brave. It is a story that listens to the past and gives voice to someone history tried to erase.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
In Witch Light, Scotland in 1692 is a place of fear, suspicion, and easy cruelty. Corrag, a young woman from the mountains, sits imprisoned as a witch, cold, filthy, and condemned long before any sentence is passed. Death by burning awaits her unless someone is willing to listen.
That listener is Charles Leslie, an Irishman sent to question her about the Massacre of Glencoe. Corrag was there. She saw what happened, and she understands how quickly truth can be twisted into something convenient. She agrees to speak, but only on her own terms. Before she will reveal what she knows, she insists on telling the story of her life.
As Corrag speaks, a different history unfolds. Her tale is one of love and loss, spiritual power, betrayal, and endurance in a world that punishes difference. Moving between personal memory and national violence, Witch Light asks who is allowed to speak, who is silenced, and how a single voice can challenge the lies that shape history.
