The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (Hardcover)

Description:

Connie Goodwin, a Harvard grad student, discovers a mysterious key among her dead grandmother`s belongings, which leads to an investigation of the Salem witch trials. Goodwin, under the guise of researching her doctoral dissertation, becomes obsessed with the key and a woman named Deliverance Dane, a healer and herbalist who was persecuted and likely perished during the witch trials. As Goodwin tries to track down Dane`s "physick book," a compendium of ancient mystical arts, she gradually begins to realize that there may be forces greater than chance guiding her pursuit. Katherine Howe`s debut novel is semi-autobiographical, as she is the descendent of Elizabeth Howe, one of the many victims of the Salem witch trials.
