The story is about a young woman returning home to Salem after being away for 15 years. All the women in her family are thought to be witches by many of the members in the community. She returns to deal with the disappearance of a favorite aunt and also tries to come to terms with the death of her twin sister.
The ending almost made me cry, I found it very moving. The authors use of changing the points of view was confusing to me, but ultimately added to the story.
The art of lace reading is interesting and I was surprised to find out that it was something the author made-up. It fits very well into the story and played a major role in the lives of the characters.
I loved the book!
