“Here’s an unexpected title to add to your Halloween tables…Conversion by Katherine Howe. It’s a YA novel by the author of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, and it, too, has a connection to Salem and its witches. The story goes back and forth between contemporary girls at a prestigious high school in Massachusetts experiencing strange symptoms and a parallel narrative based on The Crucible and what really happened in Salem during the witch trials. It’s powerful and fascinating: a suspenseful tale, a fresh look at history, and a thought-provoking examination of modern life and young women’s roles in society. I think it would make a great book club discussion book.”
