Our Bookaholics book club will next meet at Ceili Coffee & Wine Bar on Wednesday, July 19 at 6:30pm to discuss Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen. We have regular print books, large print books, and audiobook available for checkout at the library. You can also read it on the Libby app.
Suley, Georgia is home to Lost Lake Cottages and not much else. Which is why it's the perfect place for newly-widowed Kate and her eccentric eight-year-old daughter Devin to heal. Kate spend one memorable childhood summer at Lost Lake, and met a boy name Wes. It was a place for dreaming. But Kate doesn't believe in dreams anymore, and her Aunt Eby, Lost Lake's owner, wants to sell the place and move on. Lost Lake's magic is gone. As Kate discovers that time has a way of standing still at Lost Lake, can she bring the cottages and her heart back to life?
Sarah Addison Allen mixes together the perfect blend of magical realism, romance, characters you want to be best friends with, and worlds that feel like home. If you're interested in diving into some more books featuring magical realism, try one from the list below! We could all use a little sprinkle of magic in our lives, right?
