Not to mention I’m all for the combination of history and a mystical element. It was an interesting concept, the idea that there was an actual witch who was accused at the Salem trials. The book goes back and forth between Connie and Deliverance and her descendants as we learn about the book and the magic they are capable of. So she goes on the hunt for this book for her dissertation. Long story short… she finds a previously unknown accused witch who was an actual witch. She investigates and finds out that Deliverance was an accused witch who hanged in the Salem Witch Trials and finds that she had a physick book which contained spells or potions directions. Inside the key is a name: Deliverance Dane. She is cleaning the house and finds an old bible with a key inside of it. She inherits or rather is instructed to fix up an old house in Marblehead and by old I mean early 17th Century. I guess my Harry Potter fixation extends to other literary ventures.Īnyway, this one is about a girl, Connie, who is studying for her PhD in Colonial History at Harvard. But you know I’m an awkward human being in general and I over think everything so she probably didn’t even notice. I felt a little self-concious and awkward like the chick who rung me out was judging me for buying two books relating to witches and wizards. One of the two magic related books I bought at Borders recently.
