by **Brunonia Barry** (Author)

In the tradition of _The Thirteenth Tale,_ _Brunonia Barry's_ bewitching gothic novel, _The Lace Reader,_ is a phenomenon. Called "\[a\] richly imagined saga of passion, suspense, and magic" by _Time_ _Magazine, it is a haunting and remarkable tale told by an unforgettable, if strangely unreliable narrator--a woman from an enigmatic Salem family who can foretell the future in patterns of lace. The Lace Reader_ _was a runaway New York Times_ _bestseller--hitting the top lists in major cities across the country, from Boston to Chicago to Los Angeles--and has immediately established debut author Brunonia Barry as a major force in contemporary American fiction._
