Synopsis

In the 1920s, Margery Crandon captivated both Boston society and psychic researchers with her astonishing seances. At her gatherings, her deceased brother Walter regularly appeared, entertaining the circle with his witty and cheeky remarks. Margery’s abilities earned her the admiration of luminaries, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Butler Yeats. But one man stood in opposition: Harry Houdini, the legendary magician, who was determined to expose her as a fraud. Margery and Me tells the true story of the medium who mystified scientists, challenged skeptics, and sparked a sensation across America and Europe. As Houdini and Margery clashed in a battle of wits and wills, the question remained: Could the master illusionist unmask her, or would her extraordinary powers be enough to convert even the most resolute of doubters?

Quotes

“Margery and Me is a spellbinding dive into the glittering yet shadowy world of 1920s spiritualism and the enigmatic life of Margery, the era’s most notorious psychic. With meticulous historical detail, this novel brings to life the electrifying world of flapper-era Boston, where the lines between science and superstition are blurred and séances captivate both the curious and the skeptical.” Victoria Kelly, author of Mrs. Houdini and Homefront

“[A] narrative about a pre-feminist society that harshly scrutinized strong women…A delightful story about the power of vision and purpose, especially when that purpose is greater than oneself.” Laura Hulthen Thomas, author of The Meaning of Fear

“This rollicking account of the inimitable psychic Margery Crandon—aka Houdini’ s greatest nemesis—is filled with colorful characters and clever wit. I had a blast reading Margery and Me and so will you!” Kris Waldherr, author of The Lost History of Dreams
