But upkeep has drained the family coffers. Faced with the heartbreaking possibility of having to sell, John Campbell makes a very difficult decision; to keep Dulough he will turn the estate into a tourist attraction. He and his wife, daughter and son will move from the luxury of the big house to a small, damp caretaker''s cottage. The upheaval strains the already tenuous threads that bind the family, and when a tragic accident befalls them, long-simmering resentments and unanswered yearnings are forced to the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Beautifully written debut' * Fabulous Magazine, Sun on Sunday *\u003cbr\u003e'Johanna Lane writes in an easy melodic style and she shows a real talent for understanding the separate sorrows and secret dreams that simmer beneath the surface of even the closest families' * Daily Mail *\u003cbr\u003e'An elegantly written story' * Irish Mail on Sunday *\u003cbr\u003e'Lane's prose is graceful, textured and her elegant style reflects the Campbells' glazed retrograde world' * Irish Independent *\u003cbr\u003e'What won me over was the touching depiction of the two children' * Woman \u0026amp; Home *\u003cbr\u003e'A beautifully atmospheric and poignant debut' * Bella magazine *\u003cbr\u003e'I found I could not put this book down' * Woman’s Way *\u003cbr\u003eThis ultimately becomes a story of the importance of home, whatever its history, told in highly lyrical prose' * Image magazine *\u003cbr\u003e'A poignant and haunting tale that really resonates' * Evening Echo *\u003cbr\u003e'A haunting debut'\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e * Publishers Weekly *\u003cbr\u003eLane's prose is graceful, textured and her elegant stye reflects the Campbell's glazed retrograde world * Irish Independent *\u003cbr\u003eQuiet novels like Black Lake don't get much air-time, but it's worth cutting through the noise and losing yourself in this gently devastating read * Harper's Bazaar *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a charming story with gems for the thinker while being populated by interesting people for the lover of an easiy absorbed tale' * Book Bag *","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404744597847,"sku":"9780755396320","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780755396320.jpg?v=1730487460","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/black-lake-9780755396320","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
