Beskrivelse
In 18th century England, life is tough for the Auldfield farming family but they are proud, hard-working people. Nance's sorrow at her sister's death is eased a little by falling in love but this only begins a sequence of devastating events that seem to lead to one place - the gallows! Unknown to her, she is guided by her sister's loving spirit, finding new life and love herself in the afterlife and trying desperately to avert the consequences of Nance's recklessness. The author's debut novel, based on a Suffolk legend, is a brilliant, historically accurate description of Georgian times including genuine dialect. But, far more than this, it is a truly exciting adventure story that also inspires us with beautiful, erudite writing to consider the possibility of an afterlife where our spiritual efforts on Earth are rewarded.
