The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry Harper Collins
The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry Harper Collins
A story about a few women in Salem‘My name is Towner Whitney. No, that’s not exactly true. My real first name is Sophya. Never believe me, I lie all the time.’
Towner Whitney comes from a family of Salem women who can read the future in the patterns in lace, and who have guarded a history of secrets going back for generations. Exiled in California, she receives a phone call telling her that her beloved Great Aunt Eva has disappeared and Towner must return to her home after an absence of 17 years…
A literary page-turner with depth, narrative power and a story that novels like The Thirteenth Tale can only dream of, The Lace Reader is a bewitching and tightly plotted read.

That's a shame Rocket.
I think, from memory I really started getting into it around the 40-50 page mark and then couldn't put it down. Has a ripper ending so it ends up being worth it in the end if it seems a bit slow now.

Hello All,
Only up to about page 30 and I am not enjoying it. I haved decided to give it until page 46 (just plucked that number out of the air) and if I haven't changed my mind I will put it away and try again some other time.

I finished reading this novel a few days ago, and am still drafting the review. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
