Author’s NoteLike everyplace else, Salem is changing. We have
been discovered. The beautiful new Peabody
Essex Museum has opened. The waterfront is
being renovated. Many of the old houses have
been snatched up. Salem has arrived. The Lace
Reader is set in the mid ‘90s, before the world of the
story started to change. —Brunonia Barry
