In the Lake of the Woodsby Tim O'Brien
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:First published to critical acclaim by Houghton Mifflin, Tim O'Brien's celebrated classic In the Lake of the Woods now returns to the house in a gorgeous new Mariner paperback edition.
This riveting novel of love and mystery from the author of The Things They Carried examines the lasting impact of the 20th century's legacy of violence and warfare, both at home and abroad. When long-hidden secrets about the atrocities he committed in Vietnam come to light, a candidate for the U.S. Senate retreats with his wife to a lakeside cabin in northern Minnesota. Within days of their arrival, his wife mysteriously vanishes into the watery wilderness. Review:"A beautifully written, haunting novel that evokes lives in deep crisis." Booklist (Starred Review) Review:"[B]eautifully written, often haunting....O'Brien remains a terrific writer." Publishers Weekly Review:"[O'Brien's] most accessible novel to date....[A] dark but wonderful novel that should gain him a host of new fans." Library Journal Review:"All of this is awkwardly uncovered through a pretentious structure that cannot disguise the fact that there is no story here. Sinks like a stone."
