BRINGING HISTORY TO LIFE
One day, several years ago, Annelisa won some pages of a seventeenth century trial in an auction, merely to hold a piece of a 300-year-old book. That purchase changed her life. The defendant in the trial captivated her. The defendant's story demanded to be told. Annelisa's debut novel, The Popish Midwife, is based closely on the true story of Elizabeth Cellier, an extraordinary C17th midwife.
Annelisa's research revealed Cellier to be known in three areas of interest - for writing books, being caught in The Popish Plot and as a forward-thinking midwife - but her story was all in pieces and scattered. The author found the story inspirational and wanted to link it all together and share it with people of today. The result is a fantastic and exciting, award-winning true story, which will keep you wanting to know how it ends.
