The Lake Season: A Novel

I received a free electronic copy of this novel, A Glose Book, free from Simon & Schuster and Hannah McKinnon. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this debut novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. Ms. McKinnon has written several novels since - I look forward to watching her mature as a writer. Iris has always been the 'older' sister, the responsible, mature, follower of the 'rules' one. Sister Leah has appeared to be much more favored despite her bad choices and lack of restraint. Iris wonders if Leah's decision to marry this summer a man no one in the family has even met is as impulsive as have been many past relationships in Leah's life. But the postcard in Leah's handwriting saying simply "Please Come" appeared with perfect timing - Iris' husband Paul has decided he needs a divorce. Iris leaves him to handle summer camp transportation duty for their son and two daughters and heads home to Cape Cod to assist Leah with her wedding and to find peace within her own life, with or without Paul. Hopefully, by the time Paul and the kids arrive in Cape Cod for Leah's wedding, Iris will know what she wants the rest of her life to look like. And perhaps, by the time this wedding is over, Iris and Leah will have a better understanding of themselves and their roles in the family.
