Hello, readers! Get Lit will return on Thursday, April 21 at 7:00 PM, but it will be a little different. We will be meeting virtually, using Zoom, to discuss The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. The book is a novel based on the experiences of Salem Witch Trials victim Martha Carrier, and is narrated by her daughter, Sarah. The author will join us on the call to discuss the book's background -- including her Carrier family history -- and answer questions. From the author:
Kathleen Kent’s debut novel, The Heretic's Daughter--about the author's 9X great-grandmother who was hanged as a witch in Salem in 1692-- made the New York Times' Bestseller List the first week of publication. It has since been published in 17 countries and was followed by two more bestselling historical novels. Her fourth book, titled The Dime, is a contemporary crime novel set in Dallas and has been nominated by both the Edgar and the Nero Awards for “Best Crime Novel" in 2018. The New York Times picked The Dime as one of their “Latest and Greatest” in crime fiction. The sequel to The Dime, titled The Burn, with a starred Kirkus Review, was published early this year. Ms. Kent was inducted into the Texas Institute of Letters in 2020.
