Recenzii
“Enormously readable. The audience that enjoyed Star Lake Saloon will come back for more, and those who start this novel will want to enjoy the first one. Visiting the North as Sara Rath re-creates it is a welcome treat.”—Jim Fleming, reader for “Chapter a Day” on Wisconsin Public Radio
“With the patient skill of an engaging storyteller, Sara Rath brings to life the charm of northern Wisconsin. The appreciative reader is soon breathing in balsam and pine, living in primitive cabins next to the lake, listening to loons, finding unlikely romance, encountering wolves, bears, a lively group of endearing local personalities, and searching for the legendary buried treasure of John Dillinger and his infamous gang of hoodlums. So pour a cup of coffee, find an unoccupied sofa, and head into the Northwoods with The Waters of Star Lake.”—David Rhodes, author of Driftless
“Sara Rath’s warm, witty, and intimate exploration of Wisconsin’s north woods will win over readers with its effortless humor. In this lively story, Rath finds a pleasing balance of human and animal, past and present, young and old. The book makes a compelling argument for laughter as the greatest antidote to grief.”—Trudy Lewis, University of Missouri
“An engaging read about a woman juggling family (a troubled niece is foisted on her for the summer), memories of her deceased husband, new romance, and the foibles of her friends. . . . [A]n entertaining and illuminating window into the unique nature of life on Wisconsin’s remote lakes and the priceless natural resources there.”—The Capital Times
