This was donated for Bookcrossing by a friend (Thanks, Julie).
I have read it - ages ago.

Released on Saturday, March 27, 2004 at Book Crossing Meet in town centre in Nottingham, England United Kingdom.

Left at Weatherspoons Pub

Taken from the table at the meet-up, many thanks. Looking forward to reading this :)

Synopsis
Apparently buckling under the strain of caring for wounded soldiers, Amanda retreats from her nursing job at the close of the First World War to her family's farm on a lake in rural Wisconsin, hoping that life with her beloved sister Mattie and her niece, three-year-old Ruth, will restore her. But very soon Amanda comes to see that her old home is no refuge; she has carried her troubles with her. Months later, Mattie's husband Carl returns from the war to find his wife mysteriously drowned and his daughter being raised by prickly and possessive Amanda. What happened the night Mattie died? For years the consequences of that event reverberate, and the truth, when it is finally revealed, is both dramatic and extraordinarily moving.

Oops, it seems I have a copy of this hiding on my bookshleves already. I thought it best to let this one continue on its journey so I'm taking it to the Ely meet-up tomorrow.

I picked this up from thechinasourcer at the first unofficial Ely Meet-up today. Will journal it when I've finished reading it.
