Being a woman was her only crime. Scottish Highlands, 1727. In the
aftermath of a tragic fire that kills her father, Aila and her
mother, Janet, move to the remote parish of Loth, north-west of
Inverness. Blending in does not come easily to the women: Aila was
badly burned in the fire and left with visible injuries, while her
mother struggles to maintain her grip on reality. When a temporary
minister is appointed in the area, rather than welcome the two
women, he develops a strange curiosity for them that sets them even
further apart from the community. Then arrives a motley troupe of
travelling entertainers from Edinburgh, led by the charismatic but
mysterious Jack. It is just the distraction Janet, and particularly
Aila, needs: for the first time in a long while, their lives are
filling with joy and friendship, and a kind of hope Aila hasn't
known since her father's death. But in this small community, faith
is more powerful than truth, and whispers more dangerous even than
fire. Haunting and deeply moving, The Last Witch of Scotland is a
story of love, loyalty and sacrifice, inspired by the true story of
the last person to be executed for witchcraft in Britain. Perfect
for fans of Outlander, The Mercies and The Witches of Vardo, or for
anyone with an interest in the history of witchcraft, late
renaissance Scotland and Highland history.
