Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Booker-longlisted author of A Town Called Solace.
Orphaned young, Kate Morrison was her older brother Matt's protégé, her curious fascination for pond-life fed by his passionate interest in the natural world. Now a zoologist, she can identify organisms under a microscope but seems blind to the tragedy of her own emotional life. She thinks she's outgrown her family, who were once her entire world - but she can't seem to outgrow her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.

"Full of blossoming insights and emotional acuity...a compelling and serious page-turner." (Observer)

Another excellent book by Mary Lawson
This is the second book by Mary Lawson that I have listened to and I wasn't disappointed. I love the way she brings her characters to life and the region of northern Canada that we rarely hear about. Unfortunately the narrator's voice rather irritated me.

Wonderful Book
I loved Crow Lake. It was beautifully written story in which the author created fascinating characters whom I cared about deeply. Very well narrated. I’m looking forward to reading the author’s other books.

A wonderful listen
This is a carefully composed story of life in pioneering Canada. The characters are a shade less brash than their US counterparts. It is also carefully read with good characterisation of the voices making the come alive. I will listen to some more stories from this author and hope to hear the same narrator.
