Book Review: The Bonnie Road
Jackie Law
“This is a well written, unusual and compelling story that contains a fascinating level of historical detail.”
The Bonnie Road, by Suzanne d’Corsey, is a highly readable tale of modern day witches, and society’s attitude to their activities. It weaves elements of belief and the supernatural into evolving religion and ritual through the ages to offer an intriguing take on what some regard as “nefarious, unnatural activities”.

Review: The Bonnie Road by Suzanne d’Corsey
Posted on October 20, 2015 by poppypeacockpens
“Ideal for an autumnal evening… seductive storytelling weaving Scottish settings & history with witchcraft & romance.”
Last month I was delighted to attend the launch of Suzanne d’Corsey’s debut novel The Bonnie Road in St Andrews where she attended university in the late 70’s; an experience which furnishes both setting & era …

December 15, 2015: Today’s Guest Post is by Suzanne d’Corsey, friend, neighbor, and author of the debut
novel, The Bonnie Road (ThunderPoint Publishing), a novel where setting informs plot, character and action.
Excerpt: The Winter Solstice is fast approaching. As the silver sun runs its brief and low course across the
southern sky, it speaks to me not only of the dominance of dark over light, but of history and heritage. There is
power in the solstice that spans the ages, which is why I set the climactic scene in my Scottish novel, The Bonnie Road,
at a pivotal site of solstice wonder.

‘At the Magical Crossroads in Scotland, 1979’

A guest post by Suzanne d’Corsey
November 17, 2015
Excerpt: When Nimue Brown kindly invited me to offer a guest blog to her site, spurred by the publication of my novel
The Bonnie Road, the topic of witchcraft in the book was the obvious choice to explore.
The Bonnie Road takes place at a pivotal time in the history of our Western neo-Paganism, in Scotland, 1979. This was when the
secretive followers of the Auld Ways existed in a relatively static state; when a quiet movement was underway to uncover and make meaningful a pre-Christian legacy; when many strands twined together in the New Age movement, of passionate explorers of lay lines,
earth mysteries, of UFO sightings, of Findhorn finding its feet, all these trends rising against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher’s new government. Add to the mixture the encroachment from England of a relatively new style of witchcraft that came to be known as
Wicca, and it was a swirling, heady, occult, confusing and exciting time for seekers. The face of neo-Paganism-
and Scotland- was about to change forever.
