About the Book

"Masterfully woven...The Map of True Places is a gripping quest for truth that kept me reading at the edge of my seat to the very last page." --Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice Brunonia Barry, author of the beloved New York Times and international bestseller The Lace Reader is back with The Map of True Places, an emotionally resonant novel of tragedy, secrets, identity, and love. The moving and remarkable tale of a psychotherapist who discovers the strands of her own life in the death of a troubled patient, The Map of True Places is another glorious display of the unique storytelling prowess that inspired Toronto's Globe and Mail to exclaim, "Brunonia Barry can write. Boy can she write."

About the Author :
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Brunonia Barry lives in Salem with her husband and their beloved golden retriever, Byzantium.

Review :
"Barry's considerable latest delves into the long-lingering effects of a mother's suicide. . . . This is a lovingly told story with many well-drawn characters, who sooner or later reconsider the courses charted by personal decisions and circumstance." -- Publishers Weekly "Watching Zee... navigate the course of her own future is a journey ...that readers will gladly make in the capable hands of tour guide Brunonia Barry." -- Bookreporter.com "Like her hit debut, The Lace Reader (2008), Barry's second novel features an involving, intricately woven story and vivid descriptions of historic Salem." -- Booklist "Masterfully woven with a cast of unforgettable characters set loose in a world so specific and real, The Map of True Places is a gripping quest for truth that kept me reading at the edge of my seat to the very last page." -- Lisa Genova, New York Times Bestselling author of Still Alice "Brunonia Barry provides her fans with a profound complex relationship drama as the past impacts the present and the future. . . . Making the case that honesty is the best policy for the long run, Ms. Barry provides a thoughtful tale that will have readers reflecting on their lives." -- GenreGoRoundReviews.com "The meditations on American history, assisted suicide, reincarnation and celestial navigation are informative and even endearing...the voice behind the plot turns is both likable and engaging." -- Carolyn See, The Washington Post "Barry has written a beautiful transcendental tale worth high praise. The Map of True Places has a celestial place in the universe." -- BlogCritics.org "A novice psychotherapist finds unsettling parallels between a patient's suicide and her mother's history in Barry's second (The Lace Reader, 2008). . . . This woman-in-jeopardy thriller retooled with gothic elements--shifting identities, secrets and portents, a deserted cottage and a missing suicide note- manages to transcend." -- Kirkus Reviews starred review "Zee's a vulnerable, likable character, and the dramatic narrative brings her experience to life...readers will be perched on the edge of their seats while consuming this mesmerizing, suspenseful tale." -- Library Journal "Gripping and emotionally taut, this is a novel brimming with both the messy and the lovely parts of life. A provocative examination of family, aging, and finding your true place in the world, The Map of True Places is sure to smoothly sail up the bestseller list." -- BookPage
