Book Review of The Lace Reader

The Lace  Reader
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


I really enjoyed this book. The author painted a really colorful picture of all of the main characters. I also liked the way she described the setting. It's in Salem, Mass. an area I'm not overly familiar with, but the description made me feel as though I knew exactly what it looked like. I liked this book while I was reading it, but after discussing it with my book club, we all found even more ways to look at the characters and the outcome of the book. What is true and what is fiction? I think it's up for the reader to decide.

I also saw the author at a bookstore signing and discussion of her novel. She mentioned that she is writing another book associate with The Lace Reader. I will definitely be reading it.
