Staff Book Pick of the Week: Newes from the Dead

This week's pick is Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper.

As a servant, Anne Green has spent her life being told what to do, and that includes obeying the wishes of her master's grandson, which will have dire consequences for Anne. In a turn of unbelievable events, Anne is tried for a crime she did not commit and sentenced to be executed - by hanging. But when she wakes up and finds herself in limbo, unable to move, not sure if she is alive or dead, Anne finds herself trying to understand what brought her to this point. Set in 1650 and based on real events, this is the story of a girl brought back to life.
