Beschreibung von buecher.de

In this evocative, heart-grabbing novel, author Mary Rockcastle invites the reader to savor the sights, sounds, and smells of summer at her parents' lopsided lakefront cabin during the 1960s. From the landscape of her memory, Danielle Fillian paints a sensitive and wise family portrait of summers filled with fly-fishing, swimming, water-skiing, new friendships, and a deepening first love. But with the intrusion of the Vietnam War and the rumblings of the civil rights movement growing steadily nearer, this sheltered vacation community is forced to acknowledge the harsh realities of the wider world.

Rezensionen von Amazon.de-Kunden

Do yourself a huge favor....

Read this book! Rainy Lake is easily the best book I've ever read. I read it for the first time about 4 years ago and I loved it, but it is one of those books that you find yourself thinking about without really realizing it. When I do realize I'm thinking about it, I usually come here to see if Mary has come out with a new novel yet. Similar to "The Prince of Tides", but less predictable. It makes you feel either happy or sad, you're not quite sure; if you do feel sad, it feels good to feel sad.

Best Book I Ever Read

When I first read Rainy Lake, I fell in love with Mary Rockcastle's beautifully illustrative writing. Not only was I swept off my feet by the vividly real characters, but also by the lush setting that pervaded into my own reality. I have returned to this novel many times in my life when I have needed an escape. In Rainy Lake, Rockcastle portrays a teenage girl who struggles to find a balance between living through her heart's desires and relying on common sense. I recommend this novel to all girls who are struggling with their own identities while on the road to becoming women.
