Discovery of Witches
is a page turning timeless tale of a young women’s discovery and reaction to
her family’s rich history. We are
allowed to follow along as Diane struggles with this heritage and her
willingness to be a participant.
Diane is taught at an early age, that vampires, demons, and
witches should not be in a relationship, platonic or otherwise. However, an accidental meeting with an
other-worldly creature in the library along with a series of unexpected life
events opens up her eyes.
Through these events and her unwillingness to bend to the
prejudices of her family, she learns that by truly listening, communicating and
watching those that are “different” we learn that they are truly more like us
than we are taught. Don’t get me wrong,
there are those that the “stories” ring true and we should be cautious, but we
should not judge others simply on what we have been told by others. If Diana has acted as her family wished, she
would not have the wisdom or prospective she gains from the vampires and demons
she encounters. I am not advocating
rebellion, but advocating open mindedness and communication.
Deborah Harkness weaves a fast paced, action packed,
heart-warming story of truth, hope, and love.
I am looking forward to reading the continuing story and watching
Diana’s growth in all areas of her life.
