Corrag’s life changed others’ lives - even that of the Reverend who heard her tale and jotted it down with his ink and quill. Her story touched my own life, resonated with me, and changed my life, too. 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. Based on a historical event, the 1692 massacre at Glencoe in Scotland, Corrag is a remarkable book, emotional and poetic and stirring. The breathtaking physical world of the Scottish highlands comes into sharp focus, as we travel with Corrag, a persecuted woman who flees the lowlands where she is labeled as a witch, as were her mother and grandmother before her. She takes up living in the wilds of Glencoe, and her life becomes entwined with the McDonald clan who live there. When they tie me to the wood, I will say I have saved lives, and it will be a comfort and I will not mind the flames. For what if that's the cost? My life for their lives? What if the world asks for that -- for my small life, with its lonely hours, in return for the lives of three hundred, or more? I will pay it. If it means they are living . . . ."Indeed, Corrag’s story becomes woven into the story of the McDonald clan, but also with the story of an Irish pastor who comes to visit her as she awaits execution. At the outset of the book, Charles Leslie comes to gather information about the massacre, and he meets with Corrag, hoping for her death as a witch and the destruction of her body and soul. How the telling of her story affects him is part of what makes this book so effective. For he is a religious man who does not expect to learn from a “witch”, but he does.

I may have finished reading Corrag weeks ago, I may have read five other very different types of stories since then, but I am still in the highlands and with Corrag and Charles. Susan Fletcher immediately transported me so thoroughly to a time and place, to ways of thinking and perceiving they are, for the time being, a part of me. I honestly just loved this book. It has now become a firm favourite and I am sorry it has ended. I have never read any of Susan Fletchers other two books but I will now be seeking them out. What was dark will always be dark, I know that. Death is still death. Hatred will never be far, in this life.

They hissed, we know what you are…And did they? They thought they did. In my English life, they took old truths - my snowy birth, how I liked marshy places - and pressed them into proper lies, like how they saw me lift up a shoulder and turn into a crow. I never did that. What I really found difficult to swallow was Corrag's account of her experience of the day of the massacre and the day before - we are expected to believe that she could run over 60 miles in little more than a day (Inverlochy was the old name of Fort William, and she had to go round Loch Leven and over the hill on the return journey, so when you throw in a Munro climb (Buachaille Etive Mor) and deep snowdrifts, that would be pretty impressive even for a modern athlete!

Corrag by Susan Fletcher | Goodreads Corrag by Susan Fletcher | Goodreads

Corrag is the story of a young woman who has witnessed the horrific massacare of Glencoe on a winters dawn in 1692, where William IIIs redcoats brutally slaughtered 32 of the McDonald's Men Women and Children Clan. The reason for the massacre was their loyalty to the exiled Catholic James II, however sadly for the McDonalds a signed oath of their allegiance to William the III has been signed six days too late and the punishment is devastating. But maybe the best thing I learnt was this: that we cannot know a person's soul and nature until we've sat beside them, and talked.” I find magic in all its forms to be compelling. The more magical a place, the more I am drawn to it.a b "Review – The Wild Beyond the Witchlight (Dungeons & Dragons)". Strange Assembly. 2021-09-15 . Retrieved 2021-09-22.
