Relation Toward Books Newes from the Dead

WRONGED. HANGED. ALIVE? (AND TRUE!)

Anne can't move a muscle, can't open her eyes, can't scream. She lies immobile in the darkness, unsure if she'd dead, terrified she's buried alive, haunted by her final memory—of being hanged. A maidservant falsely accused of infanticide in 1650 England and sent to the scaffold, Anne Green is trapped with her racing thoughts, her burning need to revisit the events—and the man—that led her to the gallows.

 

Meanwhile, a shy 18-year-old medical student attends his first dissection and notices something strange as the doctors prepare their tools . . . Did her eyelids just flutter? Could this corpse be alive?

 

Beautifully written, impossible to put down, and meticulously researched, Newes from the Dead is based on the true story of the real Anne Green, a servant who survived a hanging to awaken on the dissection table. Newes from the Dead concludes with scans of the original 1651 document that recounts this chilling medical phenomenon.

Article About Books Newes from the Dead

This book was okay. It was very interesting in the sense that it was based on a true story. Anne Green was charged with infanticide (even though her baby was stillborn) and sentenced to death by hanging. Anne, however, survived the hanging and was spared dissection. I didn't find the book all that compelling, since we already know what's happened and the story was merely filling in the finer details. Overall, it was an okay book but nothing spectatular.



I found this book to be fascinating and the subsequent study that it sent me on has been a delight. This is a quick read and I recommend it highly. I read about the law passed in 1624 prosecuting women (intended to apply to unmarried women of the lower classes) and the language is so clearly filled with disdain for women, essentially calling them natural born liars, due to Eve's role in the Garden and I am so grateful that I live when and where I do.

I didn't even finish this book. Having read this author's books before, I trusted to find a good book. Instead, I found little more than a list of two peoples sexual experiences. Anne tells about each and every time, and a character that does not add very much to the story shares his sex life, too. So I turned to the back of the book, and read the real account from the 1600s when this actually really happened! Facinating phenomenon, definatly worth reading the account in the back, but Hooper's

A top-dollar children's historical packed with information about the 16th century but never seeming overly educational or preachy. Mary Hooper has taken a real-life snipping of history: the account of a young woman hanged for infanticide who somehow survived the hangman's noose - and crafted an enthralling, wonderfully enjoyable read from it.The author takes the unusual step of having two strands throughout the narrative depicted in alternating chapters. One set are set in the novel's current

This was a quick and thrilling read. I fell in love with Robert's awkward and sensitive character but it's a shame Mary Hooper chose not to develop an actual relationship between Anne and him. I love stories like these where the main character's life becomes a hopeless hellhole right before complete redemption. Makes the ending that much sweeter.

This was a very good book. Wonderful way to describe what Anne Greene would think and say. . .You feel lik your there, In Anne's world.=]The reason I picked up this book on my weekly trip to Books-A-Million, was not because of the cover. But the wa ythe noose stuck out with the words on the spine it was lik a loner there on the shelves.I picked it up flipped it open. And was hooked from tht moment.I couldnt believe they would hand a 22 year old woman for hte death of her stillborn child!I
