Ilustration To Books The Lake of Dreams

From Kim Edwards, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's Daughter, an arresting novel of one family's secret history

Imbued with all the lyricism, compassion, and suspense of her bestselling novel, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards’s The Lake of Dreams is a powerful family drama and an unforgettable story of love lost and found.

Lucy Jarrett is at a crossroads in her life, still haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade earlier. She returns to her hometown in Upstate New York, The Lake of Dreams, and, late one night, she cracks the lock of a window seat and discovers a collection of objects. They appear to be idle curiosities, but soon Lucy realizes that she has stumbled across a dark secret from her family's past, one that will radically change her—and the future of her family—forever.

The Lake of Dreams will delight those who loved The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, as well as fans of Anna Quindlen and Sue Miller.

Appraise Out Of Books The Lake of Dreams

I really wanted to like this book because I enjoyed "The Memory Keeper's Daughter," but, alas, it was not to be. The writing was heavy-handed, the plot--not terribly compelling to begin with--plodded, and the characters were so numerous they became one-dimensional in order to cram them all into the story. I wish the author had spent more time making the historical events come to life and less time waxing rhapsodic about the stillness of the night air and the ripples on the lake water.For me, the

Lucy Jarrett has been living overseas for several years, most recently in Japan with her partner Yoshi. She is unsettled, looking for direction in her life. On hearing of her mothers minor accident, she returns home to The Lake of Dreams, where her thoughts turn back to her fathers mysterious death several years ago. Whilst wondering around the large old family home one night unable to sleep, she discovers items that are actually family heirlooms and papers relating to suffragettes, which all

I cannot believe that this is the same author that gave me (yes, me personally) Memory Keepers Daughter. I just cannot.What I liked:1- The bones of the story are interesting. I have often thought of what it would be like to find some letters from the past and be a detective. I have also wondered what it would be like if someone found my journal way in the future.2- How cool would it be to have a suffragette in your family history?3- The stained glass information was cool.4- I liked how Lucy was

the basic story is great - interesting setting and characters....a story within a story. Strong women going back through history, a mystery within a family, etc, etc. Very compelling. BUT I found it wordy and meandering and in need of major editing. I almost didn't finish it and it took me a long time to complete it.

Hmmmmm-apparently I am in the minority here, but I loved this book. I love the beautiful imagery of all things nature, loved the family dynamics, loved the female strength messages, and the intertwining stories. All of us are on journeys, becoming who we are supposed to be, with bumps in the road and crossroads periodically. I wish I had known that at the back of the book there is a family tree that would have helped immensely had it been AT THE FRONT OF THE BOOK-HELLO! But well worth the read 😊

Hidden Letters, a father's unexplained death, and stain glass artwork are the three main points that echo throughout this book.Lucy Jarrett comes home to visit her family at the Lake of Dreams. While there, she faces her past head on. Her high school love, Keegan, and the unexplained death of her father. She discovers some hidden letters in an old window seat and that leads her on a journey through her family's history, uncovering a secret that is fighting to be freed.I was expecting so much

I made it to about page 100 before giving up. The author had too many subjects in this book; women's suffrage, Vietnam war, environmentalism are just a few of The Big Issues she tried to weave into a cohesive story that really dragged especially when you add in family secrets, mysterious stained glass windows and letters, a family locksmith business, and a confused young woman poking around in all of it.The author's previous works (Secrets of a Fire King and The Memory-Keeper's Daughter) were
