Book Description: 

Rating: unread

A gripping psychological thriller . . . In the winter of 1919, a young mother named Mathilda Neumann drowns beneath the ice of a rural Wisconsin lake. The shock of her death dramatically changes the lives of her daughter, troubled sister, and husband. . . . Told in the voices of several of the main characters and skipping back and forth in time, the narrative gradually and tantalizingly reveals the dark family secrets and the unsettling discoveries that lead to the truth of what actually happened the night of the drowning.


Today I was sitting in class talking to the person behind me when I turned around on my desk there was this book. At first I thought I'm the one who put it there then I thought about and I knew it wasn't me. I still had not read the tittle and when I finally read it *gasp* haha. I could help but laugh. So my teacher came where I was sitting and asked whats wrong. I showed her the book and she busted out laughing. She stopped the class and said "Who put this book on Ruth's desk?" "Is this a threat?" The class busted out laughing too but no one came forth. Then after a while my friend from the other side of the rooms gets up and says that she didn't want to interrupt the conversation I was having with the person behind me, so she just left it there.
