«Thursbitch» is Alan Garner's historical fantasy novel, published by Vintage in paperback (176 pages, in English).
Two eras intertwine: in the 18th century, John Turner dies in a snowstorm in the Cheshire Pennines, and beside his body appears the print of a woman's shoe. In the 21st century, Ian and Sal slip between times on the moor. It is a poetic evocation of the lives and language of the Thursbitch valley, with shamanic echoes.
Published in 2004, the work falls within literary fiction, historical fantasy and multi-timeline narrative.
For readers of literary fiction and historical fantasy, especially those who enjoy dual-timeline stories and the English landscape.
Alan Garner is an English novelist best known for his children's fantasy novels and his retellings of traditional British folk tales. Much of his work is rooted in the landscape, history and folklore of his native county of Cheshire, North West England, being set in the region and making use of the native Cheshire dialect.
