From Goodreads: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.
Thoughts: This book should have been so much more than it was.I struggled to get into it, struggled to stay with it and was relieved when I finished it. It had all the elements of a good story but it just fell flat for me. It had a strong feminist story line which some how missed the mark, family intrigue which appeared to be way more important than it was, the chance for someone to struggle with and resolve the direction of her life that happened way to easily. In the end it was just very...meh. And that's the best I can say.
