She wrote The Birth House and The Virgin Cure, now bestselling author Ami McKay returns with her most beguiling novel yet—The Witches of New York.

The story lures readers deep inside the lives of a trio of remarkable young women navigating the glitz and grotesqueries of Gilded-Age New York by any means possible, including witchcraft. While writing McKay even discovered several women in her family tree who were accused and tried for witchcraft.

Wordfest presents Ami McKay at 7:00pm on November 8, 2016 at the John Dutton Theatre, Calgary Public Library (616 Macleod Tr. SE). This event includes a reading and on-stage interview, followed by a book signing.
