Mistik Lake - Martha Brooks

A beautifully evocative novel which mines the dangerous spaces occupied by family secrets, coming of age and prophetic dreams. Sally is the only survivor when a car full of teenagers crashes through the ice and sinks to the bottom of Mistik Lake. Twenty years later, her teenaged daughter, Odella is attempting to keep her family above water when Sally abandons them for an Icelander. Odella is faced with dark secrets from not only Sally's haunted past but that of her great aunt Gloria.



Odella meets Jimmy Tomasson who knows her from his dreams and the spark between them is soon ignited. Rich with the flavours of Icelandic mythology, Canadian summers and winters, life in the country, this is a sure page-turner which does not disappoint. The ending is very satisfying, the characters are all well-developed. Take this home today!
