She learned to pay attention to the natural world around her. Corrag was very much alone for much of her life. The narrator was excellent, and added lots of atmosphere with her various accents. He is so moved by her story he helps her escape.įinal thoughts: Such a beautiful book to listen to, especially in this time of quarantine and isolation. Charles Leslie, a Jacobite, hears her story to get evidence against King William. Life is good until soldiers come to slaughter the inhabitants of Glencoe. She is accepted by the MacDonalds of Glencoe as an herb woman. Eventually, she builds a hut in a secluded glen near the village of Glencoe. Corrag slowly made her way into the Scottish Highlands with only a horse for company.
She sent Corrag away – north and west – before she’s tried as a witch. (It gave the villagers someone else to blame for their problems.) When the marshmen were all caught, Cora knew her life was in danger. They were safe in the village as long as the marshmen raided. Long version: Corrag grew up with a mother (Cora) many thought was a witch. Summary: Short version: Corrag tells her life story to a preacher seeking evidence against King William Bonus, it’s available on Hoopla, so I was able to listen to it easily.
I’m always on the lookout for books that are great in audio. She thought it was the best audiobook she listened to last year. Laura Wheldon recommended this audiobook in an end-of-the-year blog post.
