The Lake of Dreams

I thought The Memory Keeper's Daughter was a great book - it drew me in and fascinated me.  When I saw another book by the same author on one of my quick pass-throughs of the adult section of the library, I grabbed it quickly. 

Edwards didn't disappoint.  Not only is the story interesting, but the langauge of this book is poetically beautiful in places.  It is vivid and draws you on in spite of the story, which is strong in its own right.  A story of how the past determines the present, infused with dreams and dream metahpors, this is a beautifully woven novel.

A definite summer recommendation!

  1. I'm not sure I've read the Memory Keeper's Daughter. I think it is on my shelf. Think I'll put it in my stack now!
