When she is forced to leave her beloved Prince Edward Island to attend Lakeside Ladies Academy after the death of her parents, the last thing Adelaide Rose MacNeill expects to find is three kindred spirits. The “Ladies of the Lake,” as the four girls call themselves, quickly bond like sisters, vowing that wherever life takes them, they will always be there for each other. But that is before: Before love and jealousy come between Adelaide and Dorothy, the closest of the friends. Before the dawn of World War I upends their world and casts baseless suspicion onto the German American man they both love. Before a terrible explosion in Halifax Harbor rips the sisterhood irrevocably apart.

Seventeen years later, Rosaline Murray receives an unsuspecting telephone call from Dorothy, now headmistress of Lakeside, inviting her to attend the graduation of a new generation of girls, including Rosaline’s beloved daughter. With that call, Rosaline is drawn into a past she’d determined to put behind her. To memories of a man she once loved...of a sisterhood she abandoned...and of the day she stopped being Adelaide MacNeill.

I was worried at first that this was a YA book but that changed about a 1/4 ways into the book. Definitely written for women but I enjoyed it. A story of love, deception and redemption. The ending was sad but it helped to explain the relationship of the women. The ladies of the lake. Both my wife and I enjoyed it.

I was surprised by the ending as far as the love story went! And I was glad the correct two got together.

I appreciated the reader’s passion for the story.

Some obvious and implausible plot lines, but I still enjoyed it until the author began to beat me over the head with religion .

Great start, steep decline

With hints of Ann of Green Gables, and the intensity of Christy, this story was destined to be a favorite of mine! This is the first story I’ve read by this author, and I will be reading more! A wonderful story covering several decades; filled with history, friendship, faith, secrets, wounds, fear, forgiveness and romance. The audio version was perfect, I loved how each character had a unique voice.

So amazing!

An OK coming of age story of teenage girls love and jealousy and enduring friendship into adulthood.

Sweet Story

This would have been a solid 4 stars were it not so religious. The first 2/3 or so are perfectly secular and then it suddenly veers into a virtual Billy Graham crusade. Everyone is constantly praying and discussing a variety of characters from the Bible and it never let's up. It's as though a good editor had been removing all that crap and then ran out of time or red ink and the book was prematurely published. It's really too bad.

Enjoyable Read, But Preachy

This story started out a bit slow, but it became one I couldn’t stop listening to. The characters were well developed, and the narrator gave each one a unique voice with a distinct personality. I have a new favorite author and narrator!

Such a good story!
