Review: Crow Lake
Gaby Meares
I listened to the Audible version of Crow Lake and found myself totally immersed in the story of Kate’s life growing up in a small Canadian farming town with her siblings after the tragic loss of their parents.
It’s hard to believe this is a first novel as it’s so nuanced. Lawson skilfully explores family dynamics and how our perceptions as a child can cloud the reality; and how expectations and dreams for the future are not set in stone. Beautiful.
