I quite enjoyed The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards which is set in America. Lucy Jarrett returns to her childhood home for a visit and the past catches up to her in a number of ways. She re-connects with a former boyfriend and she is torn between him and the boyfriend she left behind in Japan, who plans to join her later. She discovers some hidden letters that reveal aspects of her ancestry of which she knew nothing and as she explores further she discovers family secrets which had been covered up, literally. She confronts the truth about her father's untimely death and wonders how these discoveries will affect her life and those around her. I found this a bit "soap-opera-ish" at times, but it's not a bad yarn. 31/2/5Monday, August 1, 2011
