Helpful Score: 2
This was a really good book, and different than some of the more recent books I have read on the Salem witch trials. It did a good job blending history with the supernatural.
Connie Goodwin is a grad student who needs to come up with something groundbreaking for her dissertation. Coincidentally, her mother sends her to settle up her grandmother's estate. The estate has been sitting empty for 20 years, and it is in real disarray. Connie remembers her grandmother as being somewhat eccentric, but what she finds puts things in a new perspective. When Connie stumbles across some information that relates to the Salem witch trials and a Deliverance Dane, she is excited and realizes she has found her dissertation topic. The question at hand is, what if there were people practicing witchcraft, truly powerful witchcraft, during that time? How would that change history and what we know about the world?
When someone she cares about gets hurt, Connie discovers that witchcraft and it's power and influence are not just limited to the past.
While at times the writing was a little dry, the story was solid.
