Helpful Score: 1
Crow Lake is a bittersweet story of love, loss, expectations and redemption that had me hooked from the opening line.
The Morrison family is devastated by an unexpected loss. Sacrifices are made by some, decisions by others that have unforeseen consequences for all. While the family copes with their loss, the Pye family is dealing with their own conflicts. Eventually the families fates intertwine, with unexpected results.
Told through the eyes of Kate, who looks back on her familys struggles, the book paints a beautiful picture of the Northern Ontario area. The characters of the Morrison family (Luke, Matt, Kate and Bo) are wonderfully developed, as are several of the minor characters, the only exception being the Pye family, although an undercurrent of fear and dread are evoked every time they enter the story.
All though the ending was a little anti-climatic, the book was beautifully written and I read it in one sitting. I recommend it very highly.
