Katherine Howe has created a masterpiece with The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
Connie Goodwin is dedicated to earning her doctorate from Harvard and becoming a historian. With vast knowledge and specializing in Colonial America (specifically the late 17th-century), Connie is confronted with the opportunity of a lifetime when she is given the task of sorting through her grandmother's ancient home located in Marblehead, Massachusetts, nearly a hop and skip away from Salem. The excitement quickens further when Connie discovers an ancient book in her grandmother's house containing a mysterious key and slip of paper inscribed with the name "Deliverance Dane". Connie then embarks on the ultimate quest to not only uncover new knowledge of previously undiscovered facts from Salem history, but also to learn more about her direct ancestors -- and their direct correlation with witchcraft.

From an intellectual standpoint, Katherine Howe leaves nothing to be desired. She incorporates American History seamlessly into the novel's plot and approaches the subject of witchcraft and alchemy from all different viewpoints; leaving scientists, doctors, philosophers, and those with religious beliefs gaining new perspectives on the matter.

At this time, Katherine Howe does not have any further novels on deck to be published, but please be sure to visit her website at http://katherinehowe.com/. If you love reading exquisite novels on witchcraft, I do recommend The Witching Hour
