Giveaway for Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry

Author Brunonia Barry has a new book, The Map of True Places, which hit stores on May 4.  I loved The Lace Reader and cannot wait to read her latest book; to see what I thought of The Lace Reader, check out my review.

“In The Map of True Places, Boston psychotherapist, Zee Finch’s impending marriage falls apart and she loses a bipolar patient to suicide, she returns to the town of her troubled youth––Salem––to care for her ailing father.  While there, Zee encounters danger as she falls into the puzzle of unraveling the mystery surrounding her own mother’s suicide when Zee was a child and realizes shocking parallels between the death of her mother and that of her patient, Lilly Braedon.  She also finds new love with a man who has a mysterious past, which may or may not be related to Lilly’s death.”

Check out this video of Brunonia Barry discussing the novel:

    I found out that her first novel, The Lace Reader, she self-published and because it became such a success it was eventually picked up by the US branch of HarperCollins in a multi-million dollar deal. I haven’t read her first novel; however, both of these novels sound very interesting. On her blog she stated that she wanted to try writing about a hero’s journey for a woman where the protagonist was female. When I first read this … the book series by author Patricia Cornwell came to mind as the protagonist is female and I have read most of Cornwell’s novels and have enjoyed them… now I want to read a Brunonia Barry novel.

  5. I haven’t read anything by this author yet – I have been introduced to the author by reading all the excellent reviews of late for The Lace Reader and Map of True Places. I would love to read this book – it sounds good!
