“The Lake of Dreams” by Kim Edwards
This book tells the story of Lucy’s homecoming to New York State a decade after her father’s unresolved death. Family secrets are uncovered, past passions rekindled and an heirloom tapestry and fascinating stained glass designs all contribute to a reconfiguring of her family history.
We Page Turners made widely varying comments about this novel. Some said it did nothing for them whilst others enjoyed the unfolding mystery and interesting characters. More negatives included “storyline too coincidental”, “superficial”, “ boring”. Positives included “ an easy read” “believable” “ a pleasant leisure time read”.
We universally agreed that the subjects of glass-blowing and stained glass design were very well researched and described as were the insights into the American suffrage movement.
We scored between three and nine out of ten, and agreed to differ!
