About this deal

If you suspect one of your neighbours is a witch, do not ever let her have the last word in a conversation.

quotes from Witch Light by Susan Fletcher 20+ quotes from Witch Light by Susan Fletcher

The novel is based on a real character and real events: the Glencoe massacre in the Scottish Highlands in the late 1600s. I guess I enjoyed Witchlight, particularly the art, but I couldn't really relay the narrative back to anyone.I hoped she'd be spared but didn't count on it, not after what was done to her mother and grandmother, not in that atmosphere and given the history of the place and time. The aesthetic and vibes are great and probably the only redeeming qualities (with the beautiful drawings ofc). You wore the blue shawl that makes your eyes bluer, and I spoke of enchantment - so we spoke of witchcraft by that tree. Scholastic philosophy meant that all of created nature became an object of scrutiny from which scholastics could create a model that applied to everything. She is forced to leave her mother who will be burned at the stake for witchcraft and flees to the Scottish highlands.

The full story of Corrag will likely never be known, but what Fletcher creates is a deeply personal account of a fictionalised imagining. I'm haunted by fey laughter that only I can hear, though I know it's just my mind playing tricks on me.

Illicit magic features heavily in Roman law statutes, some of which are passed down to the Christian world.The smallest gift can have untold value, a single egg, a handful of peat, or the leaves of a healing herb. Presented throughout the novel that connections and relationships do not have to be with people — in fact near the beginning of the novel it is stated that Corrag was ‘made for the places that people do not go. Corrag's descriptions combine the oblique originality of a child with the precision and control of a poet…the novel is crowded with images stunning in their freshness and simplicity…there are moments when the sheer beauty of the prose takes one's breath away…it is a novel of extraordinary beauty and quiet power that is impossible, having read it, not to look at the world anew' Guardian 'Corrag is a beguiling and sensitive heroine and Fletcher's powers of description are as strong as ever in her third novel' Financial Times 'Fletcher gives Corrag a lyrical narrative voice…a fascinating aspect of history' Daily Mail 'Susan Fletcher's lyrical, poetic style is burnished to a rare shine in her third book…her descriptions of the Scottish landscape are breathtaking, as is her depiction of the lonesome girl who is enraptured by the beauty of the Highlands…Incredibly moving' Marie Claire 'As compelling as it is heartbreaking…Fletcher's powerful prose will stay with you long after you finish the last page.
