NOTABLE AUTHOR: Kaufman wrote the highly-praised The Lairdbalor, and has an academic background in language and literature education. MAGIC AND OCCULT: Readers are obsessed with magical themes and the history of witches, featured here through strong female protagonists. CELTIC FOLKLORE: Kaufman combines elements of magical realism with her family’s own history and ancient legend in a way that appeals to fans of authors like Deborah Harkness and Alice Hoffman.
