Katherine Howe, author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, returns with an entrancing historical novel set in Boston in , where a young woman stands on the cusp of a new century, torn between loss and love, driven to seek answers in the depths of a crystal ball. The House of Velvet and Glass is an intricate and intimate family portrait, painted against a backdrop of beautifully rendered tales of colonialist Shanghai, the wreck of the Titanic, and upper-crust Boston dabblers in the spirit world in the uneasy days preceding the Great War.I'd ask Katherine Howe for more than this, but it seems churlish to request that she turn the pages for me.

THE HOUSE OF VELVET AND GLASS. Katherine Howe returns with an entrancing historical novel set in Boston in , where a young woman stands on the cusp of a new century, torn between loss and love, driven to seek answers in the depths of a crystal ball.. Still reeling from the deaths of her mother and sister on the Titanic, Sibyl Allston is living a life of quiet desperation with her taciturn father and scandal-plagued brother in an elegant town house in Boston’s Back Bay. The House of Velvet and Glass is Katherine Howe's second novel, after her fantastic breakout debut, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. Both stories have a certain magic in them. While Dane's story was about the practice of witchcraft, Sybil Allison, the character who provides our entree into The House of Velvet and Glass, is interested in spiritualism.
