Newly Notable

With at least two other books to her credit, Deborah Harkness is not new to the publishing world, but her new novel, A Discovery of Witches, is her fiction debut and the reviews are good! The list of recommendations is a long one: Parade magazine's book of the week, Entertainment Weekly added it to their 'Must List' twice, glowing reviews from O magazine, a starred review in Publisher's Weekly... Shall I go on? But here's what you really want to know. According to People magazine, "Harkness has created a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter or Twilight... An irresistable tale of wizardry, science and forbidden love." (2/21 issue) Not bad for a first shot a fiction, eh? You might also like: The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Shadow of the Wind, and The Historian.
