wonderful multi-layered storytelling

"The Lake Dreams the Sky" has at its center the story of Rose and Cody, and how they had a love so powerful it could set the lake on fire. This sounds like an impossible myth, but as the story unfolds Rose and Cody become real people with a fascinating story to tell. Like Wolfe's work "The Woman Who Lives in the Earth," this beautiful story has a mystical feel to it. But unlike a pure fable, this novel contains the sense of a real place and characters which make a book truly memorable.
