The main lesson Luce had learned was that you couldn’t count on anybody.

In the lonesome beauty of the forest, across the far shore of the mountain lake from town, Luce acts as caretaker to an empty, decaying lodge, a relic of holidaymakers a century before. Her days are long and peaceful, her nights filled with Nashville radio and yellow lights shimmering on the black water. A solitary life, and the perfect escape. Until the stranger children come. Bringing fire. And murder. And love.

From the internationally best-selling author of Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons comes a haunting and masterful new novel of love and suspense.

I enjoyed this, but not at first. You have to be in the mood for this one, and just let it creep up on you nice and slow. The pace felt ponderous until I realised that this book required the listener to really listen. Then I loved it. The story itself is not hugely strong, but what makes it special is the vivid and beautiful descriptions of everything else that is present alongside the story. To be honest I think the story is just there as a vehicle to drive and inspire these descriptions. But that’s OK, I found it very enjoyable on that kind of level, especially with Will Paton at the helm - one of my all time favourite narrators and definitely the right choice for this book.
