"You don't see writing like this often, so infused with an intimate relationship to nature. . . . Sosin writes about Lake Superior as if it were a character, a parent, a lover, an enemy. The Great Lake is movement at peripheral vision. It is sound at the limit of audible frequency. It is the illusion of the ability to understand.” - Los Angeles Times "Sosin writes sensuously detailed prose and distills the emotions of her characters into a profound and universal need for acceptance and love.” - Publishers Weekly "The construct is brilliant, the prose fine, the characters beautifully developed,…mehr

"You don't see writing like this often, so infused with an intimate relationship to nature. . . . Sosin writes about Lake Superior as if it were a character, a parent, a lover, an enemy. The Great Lake is movement at peripheral vision. It is sound at the limit of audible frequency. It is the illusion of the ability to understand.” - Los Angeles Times "Sosin writes sensuously detailed prose and distills the emotions of her characters into a profound and universal need for acceptance and love.” - Publishers Weekly "The construct is brilliant, the prose fine, the characters beautifully developed, the regional sense powerful. . . . This ode to the greatest of all lakes is nothing less than grand.” - Minneapolis Star Tribune Frigid, lethal, and wildly beautiful, Lake Superior is as alluring as it is dangerous. Featuring three women living on its shores, Sosin's debut novel illuminates the mysterious powers of the greatest of the Great Lakes. In 1622, Grey Rabbit-an Ojibwe woman, a mother and wife-struggles to understand a dream-life that takes on fearful dimensions. Berit and Gunnar, a Norwegian couple, fish the North Shore in 1902. Though the lake anchors Berit's isolated life, those same waters ultimately test her endurance and spirit. And then in 2000, Nora, a seasoned bar owner, finds her life unraveling and is drawn inexplicably into a journey around the lake. As these narratives unfold with the mesmerizing rhythm of waves, a fourth mysterious voice slowly manifests. Haunting, rich in historical detail, and universal in its exploration of the human desire for meaning when faced with uncertainty and the indomitable power of place, this is an unforgettable work of fiction, by an author whose writing effortlessly "captures unexpected moments of beauty and clarity” (New York Times Book Review).
