The Lace Reader A Novel by Brunonia Barry
Salem, Massachussets, past and present, is the setting for The Lace Reader. The quirky Whitney women have the "gift" of using handmade lace to foretell the future. Towner resists using her gift, and in fact is disturbed by her experiences. The richness of the characters, the suspense of the plot, and the author's skillful writing make this an exciting and enjoyable page-turner. It includes a reading group guide, and I recommend it for book groups.
