Following a fictional historian who becomes obsessed with tracking Anne through each twist and turn of the legal proceedings, the reader is drawn ineluctably into the shadowy world where Anne's dark tale plays out to its devastating end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe narrative is shot through with questions: Why does Anne risk being suspected of witchcraft herself as she accuses an ever-increasing number of others? Is she seeking revenge, or does she want to earn money as a witch finder? How does a young, illiterate woman have such detailed knowledge of esoteric forms of witchcraft? How does she learn to understand and manipulate the legal process? Is she a victim of her own hallucinations? Or is she telling the truth--the truth as she sees it, as perhaps only she can see it? And, finally, how does she meet her lonely death in the building which--if reports about appearances of her ghost are to be believed--she has never left?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Cawood Green is a writer and Professor in English and Creative Writing, in the Department of Humanities at Northumbria University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48289158234361,"sku":"9781906897956","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/y7tWuOMKOL9781906897956.webp?v=1776258840","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-ghosting-of-anne-armstrong-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
