Description
In the stark winter of 1919, the icy waters of a Wisconsin lake claim the life of Mathilda Neumann, a tragedy that sends ripples of devastation through her family. This event irrevocably alters the lives of her young daughter, her troubled sister, and her grieving husband, unraveling the fabric of their seemingly ordinary existence. Through a mosaic of shifting perspectives and a non-linear narrative, the story masterfully peels back layers of long-held secrets and unsettling truths, gradually revealing the complex circumstances that led to that fateful night. Christina Schwarz crafts a haunting exploration of family, loss, and the hidden currents that lie beneath the surface of everyday life.
