Sherry Sharpnack's Reviews > The Highland Witch
This was a much better story than I expected. I was not expecting the depth of emotion and lovely description of the Highlands of Scotland.
Corrag is the daughter and granddaughter of “witches”—woman who didn’t fit in to the society of the seventeenth-century English-Scottish borderlands. Corrag’s grandmother was judicially drowned as a witch, w/ her husband watching, helpless. Corrag’s mother, Cora, raised her daughter alone, out on the moors. They made what money they could w/ their herbs and medicinal preparations. Cora was visited by the men of the village after dark, but called her “witch” in the daylight. She made fun of her plight by naming her daughter “Corrag”—a mix of “Cora” and “hag,” which was another name for a witch.
The story is told backwards. We meet Corrag in a Scottish prison, awaiting her execution for witchcraft. An Irish minister, an early “Jacobite”—someone who wanted the restoration of the deposed King James to the English throne—visits Corrag to find out what she knows of the massacre at Glencoe, where a branch of MacDonalds was wiped out by British soldiers. Had the MacDonalds committed treason, or was it treachery on the part of the soldiers?
We watch Mr. Leslie’s opinion of Corrag soften from his anti-witchcraft stance to one of understanding and then sympathy for Corrag, through the plot device of letters to his wife back home in Ireland. These end every chapter. We find out that Mr. Leslie also know sorrow, as he and his wife lost a daughter at her birth.
Corrag had fled northern England w/ a stolen mare on the night the townspeople finally turned on her mother. She ended up in a beautiful, secluded valley where she builds herself a dugout home and a life off the land. She meets the McIain, the head of the Glencoe clan MacDonald when she is called to tend a wound. She falls for his second son, who is married already. I was worried that this would turn sordid, but it never did. In fits and starts, Corrag finally tells Mr. Leslie about witnessing the massacre, when the soldiers turned on their MacDonald hosts and murdered most of them. Corrag is caught warning the family to flee and she is imprisoned.
Mr. Leslie is moved to try to save Corrag from her fate. I don’t want to spoil the ending, so will again emphasize the painstakingly-drawn beauty of the Highlands and descriptions of women living outside of what society considered “normal” at that time. A surprising five stars.

Reviews for "Magic Tissue Boxes: A Whimsical Addition to Your Home"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the Magic Tissue Box after hearing so much hype about it, but I was totally disappointed. The tissues themselves were not any different from regular tissues, and the "magic" aspect was underwhelming. The dispenser didn't always work smoothly, and I found it more frustrating than convenient. Overall, I feel like it's just an overpriced gimmick.
2. Mark - 1/5 - I regret buying the Magic Tissue Box. The tissues were extremely rough and not soft at all. They also tore easily, and I found myself using multiple tissues for one sneeze. The supposed "magic" feature of the dispenser didn't work properly, and I had to manually pull out the tissues most of the time. Save your money and stick to regular tissue boxes.
3. Emily - 2/5 - I had high expectations for the Magic Tissue Box, but unfortunately, it fell short. The tissues themselves were decent, but nothing extraordinary. I was more disappointed with the dispenser, which frequently got jammed or dispensed multiple tissues at once. It was frustrating to constantly deal with these issues, and it made the whole experience less enjoyable. I would not recommend spending money on this product.
4. Alex - 1/5 - The Magic Tissue Box was a complete waste of money. The tissues were rough and felt cheaply made. The dispenser was a hassle to use, and I often ended up pulling out a clump of tissues instead of one. The supposed "magic" aspect was nonexistent, and I didn't notice any difference from regular tissue boxes. Don't be fooled by the marketing gimmick, this product is not worth it.
