She must survive a world haunted by witchcraft, the age-old legends of her beloved fen and the even more nightmarish demons of her father’s past. Like Alice, Margery Kempe was married in her teens, had an unconscionable number of children and ended up longing for chastity. When he finds a painted medieval devil in a graveyard, unhallowed forces are awakened. The book fo Alice Pyett is basd on the Book of Margery Kempe. The Life of St Guthlaf is bases on the Anglo-Saxon saint of Guthlac of Crowland who was either a saint, or merely a delusional young man afflicted by malaria, home-made opium and loneliness. The Wakenhyrst Doom is of course based on the Wenhaston Doom which the author visited during on of her research trips to the marshlands. The scene setting is fantastic with the dark clouds, mist and empty marshes very atmospheric and claustrophobic. ![]() ![]() The village of Wakenhyrst is fictional but is inspired by the villages in and around Suffolk such as Wicken Fen, Dunwich and Walberswick Marshes to name but a few.
