Quite an interesting read, though a bit confusing at times the way it jumps back and forth through time and characters.
The blurb-
In the winter of 1919, a young mother named Mathilda Neumann drowns beneath the ice of a rural Wisconsin lake. The shock of her death dramatically changes the lives of her daughter, troubled sister, and husband....Told in the voices of several of the main characters and skipping back and forth in time, the narrative gradually and tantalizingly reveals the dark family secrets and the unsettling discoveries that lead to the truth of what actually happened the night of the drowning.....

I'm collecting books with names in the title for a mass release in October, and this fits in. And, also, it looks like it'll be a good read.

Ok, so I didn't read this for my challenge, but better late than never...
I liked this, i was impressed by the way little clues towards what had happened on the night of the drowning were dropped into the story, little by little. The only thing I had a problem with was that there wasn't much of a sense of time-although the book began in 1919 it felt like it could have been at any time during the first half of the last century.
