"Crow Lake" is one of those rare literary finds that are taken prisoner immediately and irrevocably, quietly, imperceptibly, but surely. The book is so emotionally rich and at the same time calm that from the very first pages it becomes clear that only a very talented author can write such a thing. Slow-paced, but full of great tension, the story unfolds in the "badlands" of Northern Ontario, where human hardships seem to be reflected in a harsh landscape. The Morrison family is different from the surrounding farmers - since the time of their great-grandmother they have been striving for a serious education, and young Luke and Matt, who are finishing school, seem to be the first in their family to receive it. But a fateful incident turns their whole life upside down... Since childhood, Kate Morrison has been watching what is happening in her native village, the strange stories that happen in the family of neighbors, whose life is an endless Greek tragedy, she is trying to figure out a series of dramas, or everyday events. Her story about childhood, youth, brothers, neighbors, about herself draws you in like a whirlpool in a deep lake. Crow Lake is a coming-of-age story of four children living in a bear's corner, a poetic elegy celebrating the restrained beauty of the northern region, and a deep psychological romance. Without plot special effects, the book tries to answer questions about what is stronger - circumstances or character, psychological trauma or the desire to live.
