- Synopsis
- An enthralling novel centered around the mad French passion for forbidden Flemish bobbin lace in the 1600s, from a writer whose work has been called "unexpected, haunting and powerful" by her readers. For those who want something they don't have, Flemish lace can buy almost anything — or anyone. But for Lisette, lace begins her downfall, and the only way to atone for her sins is to outwit the noble who now demands an impossible length. To fail means certain destruction, both for her and her beloved. For Katharina, lace is her salvation. If she cannot make this stunning tempest of threads, a dreaded fate awaits. . . if only her sight wasn't beginning to fail her. . . Lace may be the deliverance for which they pray. . . or it may bring the ruin and imprisonment they all fear.
