After the deep bond of friendship between two young women is torn apart, what will it take to bring them together again? In Ladies of the Lake , the beloved author of Saving Amelie and Night Bird Calling returns with a transformative new historical novel about the wonder and complexities of friendship, love, and belonging. When she is forced to leave her beloved Prince Edward Island to attend Lakeside Ladies Academy after the death of her parents, the last thing Adelaide Rose MacNeill expects to find is three kindred spirits. The "Ladies of the Lake," as the four girls call themselves, quickly bond like sisters, vowing that wherever life takes them, they will always be there for each other. But that is before Before love and jealousy come between Adelaide and Dorothy, the closest of the friends. Before the dawn of World War I upends their world and casts baseless suspicion onto the German American man they both love. Before a terrible explosion in Halifax Harbor rips the sisterhood irrevocably apart. Seventeen years later, Rosaline Murray receives an unsuspecting telephone call from Dorothy, now headmistress of Lakeside, inviting her to attend the graduation of a new generation of girls, including Rosaline's beloved daughter. With that call, Rosaline is drawn into a past she'd determined to put behind her. To memories of a man she once loved . . . of a sisterhood she abandoned . . . and of the day she stopped being Adelaide MacNeill. Written by a four-time Christy award-winning author! Ideal for book clubs--contains helpful discussion questions at the end! Perfect for fans of L. M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, and Lauren Willig's Band of Sisters.

This dual timeline novel follows Adelaide Rose MacNeil and her sisters of the heart, dear friends from the Lakeside Ladies Academy, during their time at the academy from 1905 until 1917, a few years after their graduation, and then again during 1935 as Adelaide's daughter prepares to graduate from the academy. Cathy Gohlke is a master storyteller. No one that I have read exceeds her ability to withhold information, revealing it at just the right moment, at a time that changes everything you thought you knew about the story and its characters. She also is an expert in character development and relationship building between her characters. When she brings the story to a climax, the lesson demonstrated is one worthy of space in the reader's heart.
