The Burning of Isobel Key by Jen McConnel

4.0

In a moment of clarity gone awry, Lou walks out on her job preparing for the nervous breakdown she more than likely will have once it all sinks in. When her best friend announces that they are going to Scotland for the Holidays, the timing couldn’t be better. A perfect diversion and an exciting adventure are just what she needs at the moment. Lou finds herself immersed in a mystery about the history behind the innocents who were accused of witchcraft in the seventeenth century. Upon her discoveries she finds an important link to her own history and the life of condemned witch Isobel Key, that could change her life forever.

Fascinating story, you are taken from modern Scotland to the seventeenth century where an innocent Isobel is coming of age to adulthood where life takes an unexpected turn and begins to unravel. Beautifully described, you felt like you were transported into both eras taking a journey with the characters with the lush background of Scotland. A memorable read.
