The Lace Reader, by Brunonia Barry is dark, intense, and will boggle your mind.
This National Bestseller has a unique history. The author, Brunonia Barry, actually published the novel on her own, becoming a local celebrity, and readers loved the book so much, word spread and it became an international success! The novel has won more than 10 awards across the globe for it’s portrayal of a unique and interesting woman who returns home to Salem, Massachusetts when there is a death in her family, and is forced to face the eerie and thrilling truth of the reality of her upbringing and parents.
Witchcraft and fortune telling are just the beginning of this haunting tale, which has sinister and upsetting events mixed with family loyalty and the quaintness of modern day tourist attractions of Salem, Massachusetts. This novel is not for the squeamish, however, the events can be upsetting and emotional, so this is not an everyday fun and cozy vacation read. The Lace Reader makes the reader think and feel, and a shocking ending will make the reader want to re-read the novel, just to put the pieces together again. The author combines drama, mystical fantasy, and psychological thrills in a recipe that no author has achieved before her.
