Why read it?
1 author picked The Secrets of the Lake as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed the dual timeline of this book and the path to resolving a seventy-year-old mystery. The story is set in the Suffolk countryside, and after reading the book, I was fascinated enough to visit the location and the scene of the myth on which the story is based.

From Beryl's list on emotionally moving WWII family and childhood novels.
