Book Rating

[The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane] by [Katherine Howe] was a unique view of the Salem witch panic. Connie is a modern day researcher with an overly obsessive adviser. The summer after she completes her oral her mother asks her to get her grandmothers house ready to sell. She the house has been abandoned for quite some time and has a deep history to share.

This story shows how we never know the true depth of history, especially our own personal history. The mosaic that the intermingling character stories weave is a great driving force for this novel.

My one complaint was it was a bit on the predictable side but for a debut novel it is a must read.

Character change between season 1 and 2 which is exceptionally noticeable and confusing

I liked this show although it never really had a climax, it sort of is lots of small problems which are solved within each episode. It is definitely not exceptionally gripping, but more a case of you watch because you want to see the solution.
It is very family friendly. Also at no point do they address the witch thing, like no wands, no spells, no one says the word, it is like the periwicks don't even know.
Season 2 tried to go down this route slightly in episode 1/2 but even that seemed to be swept under the rug.
