The Lace Reader, a novel about lace-making women who can see the future in the lace they make, is like a story spun around the strange happenings of past and contemporary Salem, Massachusetts.
In this book, Towner Whitney, one of the lace-making Whitney women, comes back home, but not under the best circumstances. Soon, her aunt drowns and the only person she can imagine would be responsible is the local preacher who hates witches, fortune tellers and mind readers.
Towner is a very troubled young woman, but it's up to her to figure out yet another puzzle in her life. There's not many allies in this. The ending was genius. I'm keeping this book as part of my library. Brunonia Barry hit the jackpot with this thrilling storyline!
