Lace Reader

In the tradition of <em>The Thirteenth Tale </em><em>Brunonia Barry's </em>bewitching gothic novel <em>The Lace Reader </em>is a phenomenon.

The Lace Reader </em><em>was a runaway New York Times </em><em>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.</em>
