The Lace Reader

I finished the Lace Reader on Friday during third block while I was reading with my students; I love my 30 minutes of independent reading each block. I am most upset with this book and the way it ended. I feel like you get to the end and you question everything you read and what can you believe. It feels like Towner just made everything up in her mind! Also, what is up with May not being her mother. Despite my frustrations, I still look forward to discussing the book further later this month. Beverly, I loved your post, and all of the problems you had with the book. I read the blog as soon as I finished the book, and then I told my students that I was irritated with the book's ending. It was a great teaching moment, because many of them then mentioned books that they had read that didn't end the way they thought they should have.
