I agree totally with Janice - I read a lot (or listen to books-on-tape while
making lace) and it was one of the few books that I didn't bother
finishing - the story itself wasn't satisfying at all.

<Hello Lacefriends, specially those from US,
here in Germany in several magazines they announced a book from Brunonia
Barry the German title is "Die Mondschwimmerin" in English translated "the
one who swims in the moon". Mrs Barry told in interviews that her aim was
to tell the historie of lace!!!!!
My question, has anybody of you read this book and is it worth to buy it?>
I have listened to the book called The Lace Reader and it is more about
telling fortunes by reading the lace, similar to reading tea leaves or
looking at a crystal ball. I only saw one book on the following site
attributed to Ms.Barry and maybe you can see if the cover is similar to
the book you are writing about. I do not recall much, if any history or
details about lace making. I did not personally care for the book. I
suggest you borrow it from a library and save your money for lace books.
