The Lace Reader

I have a lot of respect for Brunonia Barry for publishing this on her own and making it a huge success, but basically I think this book could have used an editor. The pacing was uneven, the point of view off, and the characters hard to connect with at first. I love crazy endings and think I would have loved this one if I had not been on the lookout for it. I would like to read something else by this author, if she publishes more.
