Annabel

Poor Annabel, a misfit with a talent for invoking death and injury as she grows up in the north west of England in the 60s and 70s. People gossip – you know how they are! Annabel’s a witch? Isn’t she?
Annabel Turner, only child of a 1950s loveless marriage, is blessed with intelligence and a strong will but cursed by her lack of physical charms. Death and misery spread out from her whenever she is crossed. Her parents, her best friend and even those who take it upon themselves to care for her, all fall prey to malevolent forces, or so it seems to the bystander.
Annabel finds what passes for her as love with the self-centred Robin Rotmensen, another of life’s misfits, but even this relationship is doomed as the pair try to settle in a cottage on the outskirts of a village high above Lancaster where echoes of the Pendle Witches still reverberate. With the suspicious death of their friend, they attract the opprobrium of the village leading to conflict with their neighbours and community agreement that a coven exists in their midst. They also attract the attention of the police in the shape of PC Nowell whose clashes with Annabel lead him to take on the role of Witchfinder General.
Is Annabel a witch or is she, as she suggests, simply fulfilling the role created for her by cruel and ignorant people, just as they did with Old Demdike and the other Pendle Witches in the 17th century?
