I’ve had the opportunity to read The Ruins of Lace by Iris Anthony. It hits the bookstores on 10/2 and I’m excited to share it with everyone. The wonderful people at Sourcebooks are offering a wonderful themed basket for me to giveaway in celebration of Iris Anthony’s book birthday. Between now and 10/2 I’m going to give you a sneak peak of what’s inside the basket and introduce you to the book.
The Ruins of Lace reveals how the magnetic pull of the forbidden can ensnare anyone into its web. Seven different characters will have their lives impacted by lace, some in ways they never could have imagined. Here are their stories.
I gave into the temptation of lace and it ruined my life.
I was only seven years old. I just wanted to touch it. I had never seen anything so beautiful.
I still remember the moment when it flew into the air. Across the room, it landed into the fireplace.
The lace was tarnished and I would be paying for that little smudge of soot for the rest of my life.
The owner of that lace would make sure of it.
