Newes from the Dead Mary Hooper Books

It is 1650s in England. A girl lies in a coffin, dead, after being hanged.

Welcome to the story of Anne, a story that just happened to be based on real events.

I picked this book because xxxx mentioned it as one book that hasn't received enough attention but should. I TOTALLY agree with you Brandi.

I am not going to tell you why Anne was hanged, you need to read the book to find out by yourself :-)

After Anne was hanged, her body was to be dissected for medical studies. However, just when the first incision on Anne's body is about to be made, Anne's eyelids move... or so is though by everyone in the room.

How could she not be dead after she was hanged? What follows is an intense and funny set of procedures to determine if, in fact, Anne's body and soul are still on this world or the other.

Oh! Newes from the dead is lovely! I enjoyed every single moment of the story. Granted, I was mad at Anne for believing her master but, it's not much that she believed him but that she chose to do so.

Back to the writing, Hooper hypnotized me with her style. It was never too much, or too little but just perfect.

The ending: not a typical happy ending if you call it a happy ending at all. Since the story is based on the real life of Anne, it ended the way, I guess, it did centuries ago.

Newes from the Dead Mary Hooper Books Reviews

This book and others by Mary Hooper bring history to life in a gripping and fascinating way...and not just for the young adults it was written for.
This is a great work of historical fiction. Hooper does a fantastic job bringing the story to life. Unbelievable to think that this happened. I bought it hoping to read it aloud to my middle schoolers but it is for a high school audience.
Amazing book and a quick read.
Great book. Enjoyed the story, purchased for my teen daughter and decided to read it first myself. Glad I did
I could not put this book down. Although the book is for the young adult readers I found it to be interesting and not dumbed down in any way. The history in the story coupled with the imagination of the writer is wonderful. A must read.
We read this book for our book group. It was definately very interesting. And well written. For some reason though, I had a hard time getting thru it. But it was good.
This book is not for children. There is some sexual material that would be inappropriate. This is an exciting tale based on a true story of a girl who was hanged until "dead" and lived. The majority of the story takes place as flash backs as the two main characters think about their lives. Lots of great historical details. It is very apparent that Mary Hooper does her research.
