'The airless cottage stifles me, and I cannot breathe. The glass
reveals another world, but it entombs me. I am captive, but I have
seen the outside. It is November 1826 and I am thirty-one years
old...There is a storm brewing.' New Year 1851 Rector James Coyte
arrives at his bleak Suffolk destination. Full of apprehension, he
expects his first post to be provincial and unchallenging. But
Polstead is a village with a secret. A young woman murdered in a
frenzied attack, then buried in a shallow grave in The Red Barn.
She was just twenty-seven, and only six weeks before birthed an
illegitimate baby. Based on true events which shocked the
nineteenth century Britain, TheJames Version is set in 1851 when
Ann Marten, nearing the end of her life, reveals the story to the
novice Rector. Through their meetings, the truth of the murder is
gradually uncovered to its shocking climax.
