"The nonfictional account of Mary McCarthy's idyllic childhood, cut short by the death of her parents. McCarthy was orphaned by the influenza epidemic that followed WWI; both of her parents died in a flash. She was then raised by her grandparents in Seattle. The wonderful thing she does in the book is to tell what happened, and then to write about what might have happened. It takes 'memoir' to a whole other level. It gives you a shot of adrenaline; it makes you ask yourself, 'What was the transformational moment in my life when my story really begins?'"

Its salem like you've never seen it.

Contains spoilers, click to show

Samantha Mather moves to Salem with her stepmother into her dads childhood house.
So with a last name like hers, when the descendants of the original witch families start mysteriously dying after her arrival its not surprising that she becomes a prime suspect.
Samantha overcomes alot of obstacles, and really finds who she is within this book.
Adriana mather is a complete inspiration and an amazing author and I can't wait to read more of her work.

So part of my childhood growing up in the 70s that I still remember this classic sci fi and according to the show the moon left eatrth orbit 13th September 1999 which would make it 20 years ago on Friday just been the effects are abit outdated by today's standards but that's part of its charm. Top notch acting from both Martin Landau and Barbara bain as the leads. And been remade on audio recently by big finish productions which I'm going to listening too in the future
