Reviews for Burnt Offerings

'Turns back time to the turbulent and terrifying tale of a young woman caught up in the 16th century North Berwick witch trials... powerful' -- Nora McElhone * Dundee Courier * 'A love-letter to independent, strong women who live life on their own terms, the novel explores the power dynamic of a patriarchal society that seeks to blame those who dare to challenge it' -- Sally McDonald * Sunday Post * 'This book is a really cracking good read, an absolutely excellent description of a time and of a historic situation in North Berwick. You’ve really achieved a wonderful atmosphere… Absolutely essential reading' -- Breege Smyth * Oban FM *
