Corrag

Scotland, 1692. Corrag has been running for almost as long as she can remember from those who call her ‘witch’ and ‘hag’. Now imprisoned for witchcraft and murder, she awaits her death – but as she waits, she relates the extraordinary story of her life to an unlikely confidante, Charles Leslie, a clergyman with secrets of his own. As the story unfolds, Corrag reveals the role she played in the infamous Glencoe massacre, and in doing so, causes Leslie to radically rethink his own firmly-held assumptions and beliefs.

In luminous, lyrical prose, Fletcher vividly evokes the haunting, wild landscape of the Scottish Highlands in this story ultimately concerned with the transformative power of nature, and the importance of kindness and hope.
