Clamor of the Lake

he stories of six lives converge on the mercurial presence of the lake, which in the end proves the narrative’s true hero. An old fisherman, taciturn and enigmatic, arrives in a boat and takes on a woman and her twin sons. While his past remains a mystery, his undemanding companionship prompts the woman to narrate her turbulent life. Meanwhile another couple in a nearby village find respite from the dreariness of their existence when a chest that speaks in a language no one understands is cast up from the sea. As the tumult of the lake drives a wedge between the two couples, it turns two neighbours into close allies. Also available in Hardback by AUC Press for £14.99, ISBN: 978-977-424-852-8
