Hello Lyn and everyone I'm always suspicious of popular fiction. However, I did check out the 'look inside' feature of the book, at the Amazon link. In the "A Note to the Reader" it seems the author might have an idea of lacemaking, or has quoted her sources carefully. e.g. "Though lace is created from many threads, it is fashioned from just two simple movements: the twist and the cross." Familiar enough terms to lacemakers, yet ambiguous... I then read the start of Chapter 1, firstly was annoyed with the preciousness of the writing, and secondly annoyed that she used the term 'spun' incorrectly. This is a bad sign for a quality read IMO. Thumbs down from me already.
However, check out the 'look inside' - you might get further into the story than I did and spring for the ebook ;) On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 6:39 PM, Lyn Bailey <[email protected]>wrote: > My DH sent this to me.
