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)

A NEW, FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER OF THE PHYSICK BOOK OF DELIVERANCE DANE BY KATHERINE HOWE.

REVIEW FROM PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY:

Set in Cambridge and Marblehead, Mass., Howe's propulsive if derivative novel alternates between the 1991 story of college student Connie Goodwin and a group of 17th-century outcasts. After moving into her grandmother's crumbling house to get it in shape for sale, Connie comes across a small key and piece of paper reading only Deliverance Dane. The Salem witch trials, contemporary Wicca and women's roles in early American history figure prominently as Connie does her academic detective work. What follows is a breezy read in which Connie must uncover the mystery of a shadowy book written by the enigmatic Deliverance Dane. During Connie's investigation, she relies on a handsome steeplejack for romance and her mother and an expert on American colonial history for clues and support. While the twisty plot and Howe's habit of ending chapters with cliffhangers are straight out of the thriller playbook, the writing is solid overall, and Howe's depiction of early American life and the witch trials should appeal to readers who enjoyed The Heretic's Daughter. The witchcraft angle and frenetic pacing beg for a screen adaptation.
