Deborah Harkness recommends

The Witches of Cambridge (2026)
(Witches of Cambridge, book 1)
Alice Hoffman
"Alice Hoffman introduces us to a whole new world of witches and wonders in The Witches of Cambridge. Richly atmospheric and brimming over with Hoffman's love of family, history, and books, the reader is ushered into the dark halls of academia where secret societies and New England's magical legacy are set against the dangers of the McCarthy era. Hoffman twists together secrets and silences, past and present, into a timely and compelling tale that asks, 'who can you trust?'"

The Familiar (2024)
Leigh Bardugo
"A richly imagined, intricate tale... I loved every word of this novel, and it's a must-read for those who are seeking a little magic in their lives."

The Ancestor (2020)
Danielle Trussoni
"Danielle Trussoni's vivid and uncanny tale THE ANCESTOR makes the most of her signature blend of science, myth, and mystery. As the pages turn, family secrets come to light against a gothic backdrop that will keep readers following the startling twists and turns all the way to the end."
