Howe uses the actual documents to show in Conversion how quickly the questions, ridiculous as they are, receive even more ridiculous answers. What begins as a ploy by adolescents to get out of their daily chores turns into fantastic skeins of what we call today fake news, but fake news that is taken as truth by neighbors of the accused who held personal grudges or jealousies. But even had they wanted to defend an accused friend, that alone would have led them to suspicion, trial, and possibly death by one of the damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don’t witch tests that led to the executioner. Meanwhile, the girls behind the hysteria, had they admitted to their own guilt when they saw the deadly results of their game, would not have been believed in the midst of the chaos and panic they had fed but themselves assumed to be bewitched. There were adults who saw through the playacting of the young teenagers. Howe shows young Ann Putnam exhibiting enormous guilt and misery—but short of telling the truth— even as she writhed on the floor screaming her torment by the witches’ menagerie of animals.
Alas, Benton s words, much like the precedent of hunting people down just because they are different and accusing them of crimes they didn t commit, could all too readily be applied to xenophobia-wielding populist governments in several countries today. Having been a postgraduate student herself scouring libraries for thesis material, Howe writes into life Connie as a credible and intelligent woman who captivates the reader with her search for a book of magic healing recipes and spells that would change everything she thought to be true.
These meetings are a great way for magicians to network and build connections within the magic community. The club also hosts workshops and seminars, led by renowned magicians, to teach members new and advanced tricks. These sessions allow members to learn different aspects of magic, such as card tricks, illusions, mind-reading, and more.
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES: a recommendation
I actually want to talk about two books – A Discovery of Witches and its sequel, Shadow of Night. Please note, this isn’t a book review, simply a recommendation of two books that I’ve enjoyed reading. Both were written by Deborah Harkness, and they have totally caught my fancy.
If that phrase is old-fashioned, it’s because I’ve spent the last few weeks living in the sixteenth century, which is when the majority of Shadow of Night takes place.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. I read A Discovery of Witches when it first came out last year. It had been highly reviewed, and I love books about the supernatural. Let me be clear. The basic premise of these books is that there are four types of creatures in the world: humans, daemons, vampires, and witches. If you absolutely refuse to read books about any of these, stop here. If you do read them, or haven’t before but will try it with one that is extraordinarily well-written and intelligent, read on.
Because (bad grammar, I know, but it fits) intelligent is the first word I would use to describe these books. Fast on its heels comes well-written, then charming, romantic, authentic, fierce, colorful, interesting, historical, and fun, not in that order, but you get my drift.
Here’s the set-up. The protagonist of A Discovery of Witches is Diana Bishop, who comes from a long line of witches, but has lived her life denying her powers. As the story opens, she is a respected historian, a professor at Yale who is on leave, doing research at Oxford. In the process of doing that research, she retrieves a book that has been lost for generations but, for whatever reason, emerges from the Bodleian Library stacks when she puts in a call slip. Its appearance ignites a firestorm of interest among other supernatural creatures, not the least being Matthew Clairmont, the vampire whom Diana is destined to love.
Matthew is fabulous – his 500-year life, his modern skills and brilliance, his role in history, his evolution into a compassionate man with unique needs and fears – and Diana is delightful, very human, often hysterically funny when it comes to her heritage and her powers. We’re talking witchwind and witchfire here, not to mention an ancestry filled with benevolent Bishop witches and a family house with a mind of its own.
I won’t tell more of the story, other than to say that the second book is the one in which time travel is key. Shadow of Night takes us back to Elizabethan England, where Matthew’s circle includes not only Elizabeth I but such notable figures as Sir Walter Raleigh, Christopher Marlow, and Will Shakespeare. Matthew’s presence there is couched in historical possibility; I googled often and found amazing accuracy with regard to secret societies, witch trials, and the like.
Having loved A Discovery of Witches, I read Shadow of Night as soon as it came out this summer. But I’d forgotten enough of the first to go back and reread it. Deborah Harkness has to be every bit as talented as Matthew and Diana to have crafted so many twists and turns, and then kept straight the wealth of details accompanying them. You have to think when you read these, and neither of them is short. But I’ve now read both twice, and with great pleasure, which tells you something about their readability.
So there’s another word for them. Readable. I can’t say that about all the books I pick up. Can you? I think that my A Discovery of Witches review (and that of Shadow of Night as well) is pretty positive.
BTW, these two books are part of a trilogy. I’m assuming that the next book will be out next summer. I’ll be so looking forward to it, that I won’t even mind if it competes with my own Sweet Salt Air.
While such requests aren’t new, they have become louder as many genealogy buffs discover they have distant relatives involved in the lesser-known Connecticut witch trials.

Reviews for "Experience Convenience with the Magic Club Charger"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic Club Charger. The device seemed promising at first, but it didn't live up to its claims. The charging speed was incredibly slow, and it took ages to fully charge my phone. Additionally, the charger didn't work properly with some of my devices, which was a major inconvenience. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
2. Sarah - 1 star - The Magic Club Charger was a complete waste of money. Not only did it fail to charge my phone efficiently, but it also caused my phone to overheat multiple times. I was concerned about the safety of my device and decided to stop using the charger altogether. The build quality was also subpar, as the charging cable started fraying after just a few uses. I regret buying this charger and would advise others to avoid it.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Club Charger, but it ended up being a letdown. The charging pad was too small and I had to carefully position my phone on it to ensure proper charging. The device also emitted a noticeable buzzing sound while in use, which was quite annoying. Moreover, the charger overheated after a while, and I had to unplug it for safety reasons. Overall, I expected better performance from this product, and I wouldn't buy it again.
4. Mark - 2 stars - The Magic Club Charger failed to meet my expectations. It claimed to have fast charging capabilities, but it took an unreasonable amount of time to charge my phone compared to other wireless chargers I've used. The charging pad also felt flimsy and easily slid off my desk, which was incredibly frustrating. I ended up returning this charger and purchasing a different one that actually worked properly. Disappointing product overall.
