This book is mostly good. I found out that its this authors first work and there were parts that were a little too obviously written by a newbie. Still, the plot was very good even if the style couldve been tightened up a little.
A historian, especially a research historian, would love the detail she gets into about researching a thesis. Its pretty interesting.
The main character in it stumbles upon a book, a bible, with an old key in it in her grandmothers house outside Salem, Massachusetts. Inside the key is a name: Deliveranse Dane. This is what sets her off to find a source and learn about this woman and her family.
Meanwhile, the book goes back and forth between the modern researcher and Deliveranse and her progenys lives in the past.
Like I said: its okay. I read it slower than I wouldve read something I really loved, but I finished it, because the plot was interesting.
Even if I did guess one of the supposed plot twists somewhere near the middle.
