There are tales of witch trials and death, of a curse that lies dormant in the landscape where the women condemned as witches are buried, and a great flood that long ago washed Old Hesket away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn present-day Hesket, a new development is planned for this woodland. Following various different voices in which the ordinary and the peculiar converge, \u003ci\u003eHesket: A Norfolk Haunting\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles a quiet community of hard-working people, each contending with their own losses amidst daily life.  To their horror, the sacred grounds of their beloved old woods are earmarked for development.  As the work commences, despite village protests, strange and unexplained events begin to occur and the lives of the villagers start to disintegrate.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile each of the eight characters has their own story to tell, beautifully and heart-rendingly encapsulated within individual chapters, the narrative connects them in a broader tale of jealousy, love, bereavement and joy from beginning to end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMerging psychological realism and rural terror, \u003ci\u003eHesket: A Norfolk Haunting\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling, uncanny page-turner from debut novelist Sara Bayat.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57397765898622,"sku":"NW9781472160034","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781472160034.jpg?v=1778615661","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/in-old-hesket-woods","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
