Lakes residents are invited to attend the Lakes Book Club on Thursday, November 21 at 7 PM. We will be meeting upstairs at the Lakes Clubhouse. All are welcome to attend the discussion even if you have not read the book.
Charlotte Whitney will lead a discussion of The River We Remember by William Kent Krueger. This is much more than a murder mystery. This is the story of how we mend from unthinkable trauma, and a story of community with a deep reverence for setting. In post WW2 Minnesota, the story begins with a death. Possibly a suicide, possibly a murder. The story is about the living whose lives were touched by the deceased. It is a story about the effect of war on individuals.
