Thursbitch

by Alan Garner

Thursbitch unfolds the enigmatic tale of John Turner, a man who traversed expansive routes with his packhorses, disseminating not only goods but also ideas in the 18th century. His journey ends with his death in a mysterious snowstorm, leaving behind a haunting footprint tale etched on a memorial stone. Fast forward two and a half centuries, Ian and Sal experience a thinning of time's veil as they walk the Pennine moors, becoming entwined in Turner's ancient world, feeling the ripples of his demise in their own lives. This narrative bridges the distant past with the immediate present, where myth and memory merge, and the language and lives within the valley of Thursbitch resonate with the echo of a long-lost story.
