by Sarah Addison Allen
St. Martin's Press, 2014. 296 pgs. Fiction.
Immobilized by the death of her husband, Kate Pheris has
been living in a fog. Her domineering
mother-in-law, Cricket, has moved in to care for Kate and Kate's daughter, Devin,
and now she wants them to leave their home for a fresh start with her. As Kate prepares to move, however, she finds
an old postcard from her Aunt Eby inviting her to Lost Lake. On a whim, Kate packs up Devin and hurries
out to the lake, only to discover that Eby plans to sell her property there.
Lost Lake was a
charming read much like Sarah Addison Allen’s other works. Her descriptions are beautiful and make me
want to live in a little Southern town. The
nostalgic feel, romantic plot, and mildly magical elements of the story also
add to its appeal. Overall, Lost Lake is a great choice for someone
looking for a pleasant end of summer read.
