They're two women living in different centuries but their lives are
uncommonly similar. One lives in the Georgian England in 1763 married
to a man she hates. The other lives in present-day England and is
trying to live a normal life after a divorce. What happens when they
along with the people around them come into contact with the most
beautiful 18th-century golden gown? Who is THE WOMAN IN THE LAKE?
Nicola Cornick puts a unique spin a suspense-filled book. Her two main
characters living similar lives in the same area of England but at
different times. She throws in a little time travel along the way. These
women must overcome the dangerous situations they find themselves
in. Intrigue follows Isabella Gerard as she comes up with a plan to
murder her abusive husband. Meanwhile, Fennella Brightwell is looking
over her shoulder thinking she sees her abusive ex-husband. A
connection to a man leads Isabella to an affair and asking for help. A
chance meeting with a friend's brother brings help to Fen with
checking into the gown. As one affair ends the other begins and when
danger comes to these two women's doors they must work with their
friends to set themselves free.
An interesting, intriguing twist on how the past affects the present. The
ending was not what I expected. I've read Nicola Cornick before and
she always has an interesting take when she writes her books. The time
travel I didn't expect. And when I thought I knew who THE WOMAN IN THE LAKE was a
couple of times, but I was totally wrong!
In the tradition of the lush historical dramas of Kate
Morton, Philippa Gregory and Barbara Erskine, USA TODAY
bestselling author Nicola Cornick's The Woman in the Lake is
a delicious tale of jealousy, greed, plotting and revenge
that spans the generations between decadent Georgian society
and present day.
