Lost Lake: A Novel

By Sarah Addison Allen

Book Overview

The first time she saw Lost Lake, it was just a picture on a postcard, but she knew she was seeing her future. That was half a lifetime ago. Now all that's left is a once-charming collection of lakeside cabins succumbing to the Southern Georgia heat and damp, and an assortment of faithful misfits drawn back to Lost Lake year after year by their own secret dreams and desires. It's not quite enough to keep Eby Pim from selling up and calling this her final summer at the lake. Until one last chance at family knocks on her door. Kate spent her best summer at Lost Lake, at the age of twelve, before she learned of loneliness, and heartbreak, and loss. Perhaps, if she returns, her young daughter can cling to her own childhood for just a little longer...and maybe Kate herself can rediscover something that slipped through her fingers so long ago. One by one, people find their way to Lost Lake, looking for something: a second chance, a mystery solved, a heart mended. Can they find what they need before it's too late? In this atmospheric and enchanting novel, Sarah Addison Allen illuminates the secret longings and the everyday magic that wait to be discovered in the unlikeliest of places.

Not As Good

I won't say that I was disappointed in this one. but it was a deviation from what Sarah Addison Allen's stories usually are like. This one had some darker elements that I am not used to with this author. However, it still had quirky and lovable characters along with quirky and not so lovable ones. Having read all of Sarah's books, and this is my second time to read this one, I can say that this one is the only one I didn't just absolutely love, but I still liked it - just maybe not as much as some of her others. If you have not read a Sarah Addison Allen book do yourself a favor is do so.

Just ok

This book was ok, not as good as her others though.
