When a story gives me a character so real I feel like I know them, someone I can invest in, then I’ll go through anything with them—mistakes, victories, heartbreaks, joy. Connie Goodwin brings us into her life as she clears out her grandmother’s estate and then takes us with her as she discovers the remarkable life of Deliverance Dane, a midwife during the time of the Salem Witch Trials. The book swirls with mystery and romance and the power of women in any age.
From Dana's list on historical fiction with touches of love and magic.
Spooky and atmospheric, this story travels between a cunning woman facing the Salem Witch Trials and a modern-day mystery set in the area. The premise is intriguing: what if there was some real witchcraft going on during the witch hunts? The author weaves into this lush, romantic novel a wealth of fascinating detail about historical witchcraft. And though this book is a standalone, it provides a good taste of her other witchy novels.
