Library Book Group Meeting. Please join the library staff in a discussion of The
Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry. Barry’s
modern-day story set in Salem, Ma., tells the tale of Towner
Whitney, who has the psychic gift to read the future in lace
patterns, as did generations of Whitney women before her. Readers
will draw comparisons to such Gothic novels as Rebecca and The
Thirteenth Tale but this story is darker in subject matter…Repressed
memories emerge. Violent confrontations, reminiscent of the hysteria
of the witch trials, explode in this complex novel…The novel’s
gripping and shocking conclusion is a testament to Barry’s
creativity. Readers may bring their own copy or
place a hold on a library item. Refreshments will be served. |
