Title: Great Book Club Selection
Product review: This was one of Oprah's book club choices. It takes place on a lake in Wisconsin between the first and second world wars. Amanda is a nurse who comes back home to help care for her sister, Mathilda, and her daughter, Ruth. Her sister Mathilda is found drowned under the ice of the lake, and Amanda is left to care for her daughter, Ruth, as well as Mathilda's war-injured husband. There is a lot of suspense in the story. It jogs back and forth between Amanda's point of view and Ruth's, while also skipping back and forth from the past to the present time. It is a complex book worthy of book club discussion, although I was not terribly fond of the characters.
