Ladies of the Lake
by Cathy Gohlke
This split-time novel centers on four young ladies who
attend the prestigious Lakeside Ladies Academy in the years up to 1910. As we learn of their adventures at the school,
we fast forward to the present where they have graduated and made their way
into the world.
This story dwells on second chances, forgiveness, and
enduring friendships. It is well-written
and easy to get lost in. The author
skillfully weaves the story line between the past and present and even manages
a rather surprising plot twist that had me rereading to see what pertinent
clues I had missed.
Readers who enjoy women’s fiction, split-time stories and
happy endings will find much to like in this novel, as I did. I recommend this novel and am grateful to the
publisher for this arc in exchange for this, my honest review.
