Lucy returns home after her mom is injured in a car accident and amidst a troubling time of change in her life - well reflected by the ever present earthquakes in a then country of residence, Japan. She leaves her beloved Yoshi amidst his own turmoil to face her place of origin.
Back home at the Lake of Dreams, Lucy discovers a family secret that compels and grips her, almost away form the reality of life at present.Her old love Keegan also finds his wat into her life once again.
I just love stories about artists and long forgotten family secrets - thus this book was an obvious choice out of the bookclub library. But it is also a well written and easy read for all. I love how I managed to build the places so well described in my imagination without ever finding the author's descriptions too long or detailed.
A great bookclub read - 8/10

I have just read this book and then remembered that you had done a review, so came back to read.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy this - a very easy read and her descriptions of The Lake of Dreams and the glass windows was excellent.
I did think that it was a tad too slow tho, she could have picked up the pace a bit.
I gave it a 6/10.
I did LOVE her other one, The Memory Keepers Daughter x
