In 1650 England, Anne Green was hanged. She didn't die, but gradually regained consciousness in her coffin. In alternate chapters, the events are told by medical student Robert Matthews and Anne herself. Hooper has created two distinct, authentic voices that flow in parallel stories, building to new awakenings and knowledge. A well-researched, riveting read. An author's note is appended. Bib.
