The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry
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.Brunonia Barry is the author of The Lace Reader, The Map of Real Places, and The Fifth Petal, which have all been New York Times and international best sellers. More than thirty languages have been translated into her work. She was the first American author to win the International Women's Fiction Festival's Baccante Award, as well as the Strnad Invitational Fellowship from Ragdale Artists Colony and the Best Fiction Award from the New England Book Festival. Her writing reviews and articles have featured in publications such as the London Times, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post. Brunonia is a member of the Salem Athenaeum's Writers Committee, which she co-chairs.
She and her husband, Gary Ward, reside in Salem with their dog, Angel. The Salem Literary Festival is organized by Gary and Bru.
