The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane

by Katherine Howe

(book review in progress)

I am now past the halfway mark and find the book pretty interesting.   The plot of the story is occurring in 1991, but the content of the story goes back to the late 1600's.  The author does a good job with switching between past and present.  Transitions are clear and there is no confusion.  The information I have gleaned about the Salem witch trials has been interesting.  My continued enjoyment of the book will depend in part on how far they go into the witchcraft.  In addition, it certainly seems that there is an underlying scheme going on and it probably has to do with Connie's faculty advisor.

Oh yes, I will keep reading!
