Histoire
When Sharifa and her husband travel to India, she expects her time will be spent researching her great-great grandfather, a wealthy businessman and philanthropist. However, what she doesn’t expect is to be swept up in the story of his four wives, oddly excluded from her family history. As Sharifa’s imagination is overtaken with these four women, she finds herself in the middle of another female-centered conflict - a conservative, religious ritual that has been going on for centuries.

Histoire
When Elizabeth Keane returns to Ireland after her mother’s death, she’s focused only on saying goodbye to that dark and dismal part of her life. Her childhood home is packed solid with useless junk, her mother’s presence already fading. But within this mess, she discovers a small stash of letters — and ultimately, the truth. Forty years earlier, a young woman stumbles from a remote stone house, the night quiet except for the constant wind that encircles her as she hurries deeper into the darkness away from the cliffs and the sea.

Histoire
It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl’s pretty yellow dress can’t quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Histoire
A timely and gripping novel in which a son tries to solve the mystery of his father's death - a man who tried but could not forget a troubled past in his native Lebanon. Pierre Cormier had secrets. Though he married twice, became a high-flying lawyer and a father, he didn't let anyone really know him. And he was especially silent about what had happened to him in Lebanon, the country he fled during civil war to come to Canada as a refugee. When, in the midst of a corporate scandal, he went missing after his boat exploded, his teenaged son Cyril didn't know how to mourn him.

Description
Crow Lake is that rare find, a first novel so quietly assured, so emotionally pitch-perfect, you know from the opening moment that this is the real thing - a literary experience in which to lose yourself, by an author of immense talent.
Here is a gorgeous, slow-burning story set in the rural “badlands” of Northern Ontario, where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the landscape. For the farming Pye family, life is a Greek tragedy where the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons, and terrible events occur - offstage.
Centerstage are the Morrisons, whose tragedy looks more immediate if less brutal, but is, in reality, insidious and divisive. Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt’s protegee, her fascination for pond life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope but seems blind to the state of her own emotional life. And she thinks she’s outgrown her siblings - Luke, Matt, and Bo - who were once her entire world.
In this universal drama of family love and misunderstandings, of resentments harbored and driven underground, Lawson ratchets up the tension with heartbreaking humor and consummate control, continually overturning one’s expectations right to the very end. Tragic, funny, unforgettable, Crow Lake is a quiet tour de force that will catapult Mary Lawson to the forefront of fiction writers today.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Crow Lake is a remarkable novel, utterly gripping and yet highly literate. I read it in a single sitting, then I read it again, just for pleasure. I await her next work with eagerness (and a little envy).” (Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat)
“I didn’t read Crow Lake so much as I fell in love with it. This is one beautiful book.” (David Macfarlane, author of Summer Gone)
"A finely crafted debut...conveys an astonishing intensity of emotion, almost Proustian in its sense of loss and regret." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

A really good story
I chose to read this book gor an english class and I have never read a better book in school (that was mandatory at least). It’s just a great book and definitely recommended to anyone who likes a more real, down to earth story.

Sad, difficult but a really solid well-told story
This was a hard, sad story, lots of family loss and struggle but there was also hope and it was good to see the narrator grow and recognize her own flawed perspective.
I did not love the way Amelia Sargisson read - too overly enunciated - other than for some of the older townspeople; those voices she did really well.

Wonderfully written!
Knowing Mary Lawson is Canadian drew me to this book, but ironically after a Scottish friend recommended this book.
It starts off slow, but not in a boring fashion at all, more like a ‘slow burn of anticipation’, culminating in an exciting tale and gentle ending.
Loved it!
On to find another Lawson novel….

Quiet Drama. Grief and Foreshadowing
Amazing storytelling. From the first few pages I was waiting for the shoe to drop, wondering what else would befall this orphaned family. the grief of the small family occassionally intertwined with the dark history of the small town - it made for a tense read.
But at the same time the prose was so good, I could see the ponds, the small hamlet of Crow Lake, I could see the families. I have never felt such a yearning to visit Northern Canada.
The main protagonist, Kate, is extremely flawed. You see her emotional fragility as a grief stricken child, to her emotionness adulthood, with her ack of self reflection/lack of self observation. The only area that was not believeable was her relationship with Daniel.
It was a wonderful book.

Highly recommended
I loved everything about this story. It was well written, insightful, and engrossing. Although it is fictional it could easily be an autobiographical account, with characters that are true to life, especially Kate, whose point of view the tale is told from. I felt sad when it ended, but the last chapters were very satisfying, and I am thrilled that it's part one of a trilogy. Can't wait to start the next book! This one was a treat.

Im from Northern Ontario, and was eager for this story, but it fell a little flat. I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

So so
Surprised it got published at all. It’s really not all that original or compelling. Maybe someone thought we needed more Canadian content? It’s not bad, just not that great either.
The narrator grated on my nerves. Like Siri on steroids. Everything over pronounced. Two of the peripheral characters were really annoying to listen to.
