À propos de cet audio

 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. Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction féminine Fiction littéraire Psychologique

I enjoyed the story and also listening to the narrator who had a very peaceful voice.

Enjoyable story

This is a book I would have enjoyed more had I actually read it. The story is good, although it is not fully realised. There is a significant mystery, which becomes buried in far too many details of the main character's inner monologue. The story if flowery - unnecessarily so - and the main character is self-absorbed, not to be confused with self-reflective, leaving no room for character development of the other, maybe more important characters.

The narration was frustrating; the narrator does not have enough range to differentiate the characters, so monologues and conversations blend together in a confusing way. Impossible to tell where one conversation, or section, or scene changes. One has the impression the main character is always speaking/thinking.

The story had so much potential to be an absolute ripper, but a huge, important event was revealed very, very late in the story and was glossed over in a most unbelievable way.

In short, I wanted badly to re-write this book to properly encapsulate what are two pretty distinct stories, and to give the characters their appropriate, important voices.

There is so much of this book that is unnecessary, and scenes that are somewhat irrelevant, or far too prolonged, that the core of the story is lost in a lot of white noise. I finished the book because I had a six-hour drive to fill, but otherwise would have returned it forthwith.

Frustrating Book
