Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week is The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards to be released January 4, 2011. I read her first book The Memory Keeper’s Daughter and absolutely loved it so I’m really looking forward to reading another one from her. Here’s a bit about the book from Fantastic Fiction…
With revelations that prove as captivating as the deceptions at the heart of her bestselling phenomenon The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, Kim Edwards now gives us the story of a woman’s homecoming, a family secret, and the old house that holds the key to the true legacy of a family.
At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home from Japan, only to find herself haunted by her father’s unresolved death a decade ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who was once her passionate first love, lead her into the unexpected. Late one night, as she paces the hallways of her family’s rambling lakeside house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects that first appear to be useless curiosities, but soon reveal a deeper and more complex family past. As Lucy discovers and explores the traces of her lineage00from an heirloom tapestry and dusty political tracts to a web of allusions depicted in stained-glass windows throughout upstate New York-the family story she has always known is shattered, Lucy’s quest for the truth reconfigures her family’s history, links her to a unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yields dramatic insights that embolden her to live freely.
With surprises at every turn, brimming with vibrant detail, The Lake of Dreams is an arresting saga in which every element emerges as a carefully place piece of the puzzle that’s sure to enthrall the millions of readers who loved The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.
It sounds like another great novel from Kim Edwards! How about you – what are you waiting for this week? Share in the comments or leave me a link. Have a great day everyone!

Ack! I've got this book (signed!) up next, after I finish my current read. I can't wait. It sounds fabulous.
I'm so out of the loop with "new" fiction I had to ask on Twitter the other day what the THE books were for right now to get my stepmom something for Christmas. 😉 I read Memory Keeper's Daughter and enjoyed it. Is this her first since then!
Happy Christmas to you Darlene. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. Hugs!
Oh, I hope you like this one! I had some issues with The Memory Keeper's Daughter, but I am hoping this one will be better! Merry Christmas, Dar!
Great pick! I'm anxious to read this book too!
I'm all over this one…I loved her first book…great pick!
