The Lacemakers of Glenmara by Heather Barbieri

Oh, yes this story is romantic, but it is also about the women of a small village in Ireland who make lace on a regular basis, sell it at the local fair and then have a young American woman show up to shake up their world.  She was dumped by her fiance which sent her into a tailspin. She decided to go to her mother's homeland and possibly find her way back to the world. She winds up in the village & sets the women there up in business selling their wares beyond their small area. Of course she encounters the handsome guy who has a tragic history and they fall in love. It doesn't end the way I thought it would, but that is a plus because then it would have been too predictable. Good story for a beach day!

  1. Sounds like a good read. Have you gotten to W yet? Find Winter's Bone. Great writing, difficult story.
