PRAISE FOR LACE

"Enthralling." – The Bookseller

"With Lace, the stunning sequel to the award-winning Salt, Catrin Kean has spun an enthralling tale of trauma, redemption, and tangled family bonds: as delicate and complex as lace itself." – Carly Holmes

"Kean's writing is much like the lace Mary crafts in this sublime novel, intricate and delicate, tightly woven, robust and very finely controlled." – Rachel Trezise

"In the delicate dance of lacework, each thread becomes a conduit of transformation, weaving a tapestry of healing. The intricate patterns, formed with care and intention, create more than just a beautiful fabric—they spin the very threads of rejuvenation and hope, but not everything can be healed in one generation." – Isabel Adonis
