The Witch Hunt of Pittenweem – Fictionalised in ‘The Darkest Shore’ by Karen Brooks

The Darkest Shore by Karen Brooks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book reminded me of Burial Rites by Hannah Kent, another historical fiction set in a forbidding place where women had fewer rights than men or none at all. While the description of the place and location was beautifully written, it was repetitive in parts. And there was a word or two which I doubt they would have used in 1700s Scotland, like the ‘f’ word.
