Synopsis
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.

Industry reviews
"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."
 (06/12/2009)

"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."
 (06/30/2009)
