On a winter's day in 1869, two surgeons performed an autopsy on the body of a 12-year-old Welsh girl who had died in strange circumstances. The child, even in death, was very beautiful. Yet there were signs that she had suffered greatly towards the end. This is the true story of a remarkable child, who enchanted everyone, but who, at the age of ten, suddenly took to her bed. During the last two years of her life she allegedly had nothing to eat or drink at all - and yet mysteriously survived. Sarah Jacob's family claimed she was a miracle, and as her fame grew, thousands flocked to her bedside. Was she living on thin air? Doctors felt compelled to investigate and began a round-the-clock vigil which quickly killed her. Sarah Jacob was a tragic child celebrity: a victim of the era in which she lived, when Science and Faith were grappling with the conscience of man.
Sian Busby is a researcher and broadcaster. This is her first book. She lives with her family in North London.

[From front jacket flap] This is the true story of a remarkable Welsh girl, who through her apparently supernatural powers of survival transfixed Victoria England. During the last two years of her life, Sarah Jacob allegedly did not eat or drink anything at all. She seemed to be living on thin air. Was she, as her father told the many thousands of visitors who flocked to her bedside, "a gift from God"? Or was she, as the medical establishment countered, a fraud, a secret feeder who was duping the gullible in the interests of fame and profit? There was only one way to find out. Determed to expose Sarah, a team of doctors descended on the Jacobs' tiny Carmarthenshire farmstead to put the miracle girl to the test. Nº de ref. del artículo: 20190223001
