While seeking shelter from a sudden rainstorm in an old barn, a young motorcyclist finds himself catapulted into a mid-17th century England troubled by witch hunts.

Very slow to start, and feels rushed when it finally gets going, but nevertheless an original storyline which casts a spell on you. I think the idea may have begun as a simple ghost story like many of Westall's other works, but Joanna is such an endearing character that by the end both author and reader are firmly on her side.
It's a bewitching tragedy which leaves me feeling nostalgic for the world it creates, and reflective about those times you make a choice you can never go back on.
