Daughters of the Lake by Jane RiddellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Despite a very etherial sounding title, this book was an inside look at a dysfunctional family, keeping secrets from each other. When their widowed mother invites everyone home to celebrate the anniversary of their hotel, the secrets begin to unravel. Infidelities, broken relationships and guilt play out against the beautiful swiss location of the story. The author is from the UK, so American readers will need to adjust to the different spellings and some of slang used. At times the descriptions got lengthy, but overall the family dynamics and the many secrets led to an interesting story.
