A review by bookishrabbit
The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards

3.0

I love poetry. I love prose. I love beautiful language. But dear god, Kim Edwards, give it a rest. I don't need to know that your lemonade is the yellow of a dandelion on a sunny day. So much unneeded description in this book; it would be half the size if she had left it out. The main characters is also kind of self-absorbed and you want to shake her and tell her to make up her mind. But underneath everything is an interesting concept, and I enjoyed the historical aspect of the story, even though it was a huge stretch how everything fit together.
