The Lake House by Kate Morton
Sometimes an audiobook finds you. The Lake House just kept landing in our feed, calling to us. We finally caved and we're so glad that we did. This book is a wonderfully long family saga, set in Cornwall by the sea in England. The story comes to us in two timelines, decades apart, both revolving around, you may guess, a beautiful lake house. Told from differing points of view, with both reliable and unreliable narrators, keeping us puzzle-solvers on our toes and constantly guessing. Caroline Lee narrates, and does an outstanding job, easily switching from male to female voices. The listen is a bit of a doorstop at 21 hours and 24 minutes, but it never felt too long. In fact, when it does end, you'll be sad to see the characters go.
