Lacemakers of Glenmara: A MotherTalk Book review
I got to review the book The Lacemakers of Glenmara a novel by by Heather Barbieri. This book is hitting bookshelves today! It is a very interesting tale about a late 20-something, Kate Robinson, who leaves Seattle to visit Ireland after a break up and her mother’s death.
As she travels slowly across the country, she finds her self spending a night in the tiny town of Glenmara. This stop is extended as she meets the people there, and finds a new purpose and direction in her life. It is an intricate look at the intertwinings of several lives, and the impact that one person can have. I enjoyed how she wove the separate stories together to form one whole, and the variations in characters that she created.
This is just gripping enough to be considered a beach read, and is perfect for a little summer relaxation. The characters are well developed enough to be likable, but the book is light enough to be quite palatable; it is an easy, summer vacation kind of book.
