The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
Physick Book · Book 1Description
A Harvard graduate student discovers an ancient key hidden in her grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, launching her on a haunting quest to uncover the identity of a mysterious woman named Deliverance Dane and locate a legendary physick book—a repository of lost knowledge from centuries past. As Connie Goodwin delves deeper into her family's secrets, she becomes increasingly drawn into the dark history of the Salem witch trials, experiencing visions that blur the line between past and present. Weaving together contemporary mystery with the disturbing reality of 1690s witchcraft accusations, Katherine Howe crafts a spellbinding narrative that reimagines witches not as fantastical figures, but as real women whose knowledge and power made them dangerous. With poetic grace and literary sophistication, this debut novel explores themes of family legacy, hidden history, and the enduring consequences of fear and persecution. A gripping supernatural puzzler that reveals how the shadows of Salem's past continue to haunt the present day.
