Meet & Greet Book-signing with Katherine Howe
Friday, April 16, 12:00 p.m.
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane BUY NOW
Scholars of the Salem witch trials have long asked why the accusers chose to ruin so many lives, but Howe asks, what if the women really were witches? What if the magic was real?
As Booklist notes in its starred review, “Howe’s vividly detailed, witty, and astutely plotted debut is deeply rooted in her family connection to accused seventeenth-century witches Elizabeth Howe and Elizabeth Proctor. . . . A keen and magical historical mystery [it’s] laced with romance and sly digs at society’s persistent underestimation of women.” Paced like a thriller, set at a university, and plotted around the search for a breakthrough in a historical mystery, it will keep you turning pages long into the night.
Compellingly written, with powerful historic insight, THE PHYSICK BOOK OF DELIVERANCE DANE is that rare find, a literary novel and commercial blockbuster that makes the past come alive.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a meet & greet booksigning only. There will be no formal presentation.
