The lake of dreams - Kim Edwards

The greatest secrets are the ones we hide from ourselves

After spending many years in a foreign country, Lucy returns to her family’s rambling lakeside home. There she finds herself haunted by the curious circumstances of her father’s death ten years ago.

Sleepless one night, and pacing the moonlit hallways of the house, she makes a momentous discovery. Locked in a window seat, she finds a collection of what at first appear to be idle curiosities. But each of these objects holds a secret.

As Lucy begins to piece together her family’s true history—from an heirloom tapestry and old political tracts, to a web of allusions depicted in stained glass—she realizes that the story she has always believed is fiction. And then, adding to her confusion, there is Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who was once her passionate first love, who stirs up old longings and who will lead Lucy to unexpected places.

Mesmerizing and haunting, The Lake of Dreams is a startling story of family secrets and lies, lost love and redemption, and of the many little pieces and puzzles that make up a life.

It will enthrall readers the world over.
