Review:
"Once in a while, a new writer offers up a hypnotic tale of the supernatural that has the publishing world quivering with excitement. In 2005 it was Elizabeth Kostova's THE HISTORIAN; in 2006 it was Diane Setterfield's THE THIRTEENTH TALE...[In 2009,] THE PHYSICK BOOK is magic....[It] is a fresh and mesmerizing modern-day mystery of witches and witchcraft set in the real world."
Carol Memmott, USA Today, 06/12/2009
Review:"This charming novel is a tale of New England grad-student life in 1991 and the Salem witch hunts in 1692....[B]y the end of this book, as any graduate student should, Howe has filled us in on much more than we used to know about that group of unfortunate women who paid the price of their lives due to a town's irrational fears."
Carolyn See, Miami Herald, 06/30/2009

Book Description: Hyperion Audiobooks, United States, 2009. CD-Audio. Book Condition: New. Unabridged. 147 x 136 mm. Brand New. "A fresh present-day story infused with an original take on popular history. Forget broomsticks and pointy hats; here are witches that could well be walking among us today. This debut novel flows with poetic charm and eloquence that achieves high literary merit while concocting a gripping supernatural puzzler. Katherine Howe's talent is spellbinding."--Matthew Pearl, author of The Poe Shadow and The Dante ClubA spellbinding, beautifully written novel that moves between contemporary times and one of the most fascinating and disturbing periods in American history-the Salem witch trials.Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge.As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined.Written with astonishing conviction and grace, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.
