Our October book club pick is A Discovery of Witches. 


A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness is the start of an otherworldly, compelling series, that will have or leave you enthralled with emotion. 


The intricacies present within this book, create a really well developed story that looks at varying variables within the mystical world. Starting off in a way that grabs you completely, from the first chapter, you’re already hooked. 



To be already so fully immersed in the story, one where it starts with a bang, you can’t help but feel that it continues to just send you on loops throughout the book. It is so well-achieved, you are enveloped by the world created within. You can’t help but feel that this book just weaves a spell on you. 


We follow our main character Diana, as she traverses time and space within an academic setting that co-exists with magical elements. It’s almost an elevated version of what you would read as a child when it comes to the creatures and emotion present within the book. There was humour, there were heartfelt moments and suspenseful situations that totally gripped you. You won’t want to put the book down. Again, it’s the start of a series and you will for sure want to continue to explore this world. 



A Discovery of Witches is available through Hachette Australia.
