Wow! Laura Frantz has done it again! The Lacemaker was rich and vibrant with history, intrigue and romance. This was a book incredibly hard to put down.

I loved the character of Lady Elisabeth (Liberty) Lawson. Here was a woman whose life in one night is turned upside down and yet she commits herself to somehow making things work. Through it all, she does not lose her faith in God.

Her father is despicable and a character you truly love to hate. Noble Rynallt, on the other hand, is a character that is everything dashing and honourable. I love how the author got Libby (as Noble called her) and Noble together. The underlying tension of the coming war between England and the new American colony is rich with history and the author has done an excellent job of drawing the reader into that part of the story as well.

The surprises in this book and the heartwarming moments make it, as I said, hard to put down. Do yourself a favour - buy this book!
