Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper

4.0

Anne Green was a maid who was hanged for the murder of her infant son. But that is only the beginning of her story. She awakens in her coffin, at first unsure of where she is and how she got there. Gradually, her memories return and she tells her story.

A young surgeon, about to observe the dissection of her body, notices her eyelids flutter. His more scientific observations alternate with Anne's voice as they tell her story.

Loosely based on a true story from England in the mid 1600's.
