Three women. One shared struggle. Can
they survive?
1970. When Adrienne Chevalier’s perfect life in a chic quartier of Lyon
unravels, she flees to rural Sainte-Marie-du-Lac to escape her controlling
husband, Emile.
Taking refuge at the idyllic L’Auberge de Léa, Adrienne befriends Blanche
Larue, who is herself trapped by her husband’s infidelity. Adrienne begins to
understand the subtle strictures that keep women chained across generations.
But to what diabolical lengths will Emile go to reclaim his wife? And can
Blanche find the courage to choose truth over appearances?
1914. Suzanne Rossignol bids farewell to her beloved husband as he marches off
to war. Through Suzanne’s journal entries, Adrienne discovers that the damaged
soldier who returns from the trenches is a stranger, leaving Suzanne to
navigate a home-front battlefield.
Join Adrienne, Blanche and Suzanne on their emotional journeys amidst the
tranquil French countryside as they fight to escape the shackles of tradition
and abuse. Their stories, bridging half a century, are bound by a timeless
struggle.
A heart-wrenching blend of historical and women’s fiction, Lake of Widows explores
the complexities of marriage, family secrets and self-discovery in 20th-century
France.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Kelly Rimmer.
