Conjure Wife

Written by Fritz Leiber

Average Score: 70(2)

Professor Norman Saylor considered magic nothing more than superstition.  Then he learned that his own wife was a practicing sorceress.  But he still refuses to accept the truth…that in the secret occult warfare that governs our lives, magic is a matter of life and death.  And that unbeknownst to men, every woman knows it.

Filmed twice, as Weird Woman (1944) and Burn Witch Burn (1961), this tale of secret witchcraft on a modern college campus is as readable today as the day it was written.

Review Rating: 80
[That the novel may be a little philosophical for the modern reader] detracts nothing from the skill of Leiber's writing in portraying, place, character and the way in which human minds work.

Review Rating: 60
it's an amusing visit to an older age of society and fiction, one that has been (one hopes) safely relegated to the past.
