Synopsis
Nell lives with her grandmother, the local cunning woman and healer, in a seventeenth century West Country village. When one of the minister's daughter falls pregnant she and her sister attempt to conceal it by accusing Nell of putting a curse on them. Nell is alone, trapped and in mortal
danger. Who can she trust? Who will save her?
Themes: Witchcraft, teenage pregnancy, prejudice, health and healing
Teaching Focus:
* Original dual narrative structure with time shifts between narratives and a plot that keeps you guessing until the end.
* Strong characterisation lends itself well to drama activities.
* Wide vocabulary used (including archaic words) provides rich sentence level work.
* Themes link to history and religious studies.
Recommended for students in Years 8 and 9
