About the Book:
At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home to
upstate New York from Japan, only to find herself haunted by her father’s
unresolved death a decade ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local
glass artist who was once her passionate first love, lead her into the
unexpected. Late one night, as she paces the hallways of her family’s rambling
lakeside house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects
that first appear to be idle curiosities, but soon reveal glimpses of a hidden
family history. As Lucy explores these traces of her lineage—from an heirloom
blanket and dusty political tracts to a web of allusions depicted in
stained-glass windows, both in her hometown and beyond—a new family history emerges,
one that will link her to a unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yield
dramatic insights that will free her to live her life to its fullest and
deepest.
With revelations as captivating as the deceptions at the
heart of her best-selling phenomenon, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, Kim Edwards now gives us
the story of a woman’s homecoming to the lake of her childhood, and the discovery of a secret past that will
alter her understanding of her heritage, and herself, forever. A powerful
family narrative and a story of love lost and found, The Lake of Dreams is an
arresting novel in which every vibrant detail emerges as an organic piece of a
puzzle. With her signature gifts for lyricism,
suspense, and masterly storytelling, Kim Edwards’s new novel will delight those
who loved The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and mesmerize millions of new fans.
