1ST ANNUAL HISTORICAL HOLIDAY BLOG HOP!




I am happy to be  participating in the 1st Annual Historical Holiday Blog Hop hosted by  Amy @ Passages to the Past!

So without further ado, this is what I will be giving away!!
One Advanced Reader's Copy of Corrag by Susan Fletcher.

To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment with your email address...that's it..no hoops, no long forms...Good Luck!!




February 13, 1692. Thirty-eight members of the MacDonald clan are killed by soldiers who had previously enjoyed the clan's hospitality. Many more die from exposure. Forty miles south, the captivating Corrag is imprisoned for her involvement in the massacre. Accused of witchcraft and murder, she awaits her death. Lonesome, she tells her story to Charles Leslie, an Irish propagandist who seeks information to condemn the Protestant King William, rumored to be involved in the massacre. Hers is a story of passion, courage, love, and the magic of the natural world. By telling it, she transforms both their lives.


As in her award-winning debut novel, Eve Green, Susan Fletcher shows that she is "a novelist with the soul of a poet" (Booklist). This deeply philosophical and dramatic book is about an epic historic event and the difference a single heart can make—how deep and lasting relationships can come from the most unlikely places


Again, good luck and happy hopping!!!

  29. The MacDonald Clan massacre was such a sad and questionable event. Would really like to read this "explanation" of what happened.

    Thanks for participating.
