Leoanneth, located in Cornwall, England, is described through Alice’s thoughts as being a very beautiful and peaceful place to live. Alice lives with her mother, Eleanor, her father, Anthony, her two sisters (her younger sister Clementine and her older sister Deborah), and her baby brother, Theodore, on an estate known as Loeanneth. The book then takes us to June 1933, a month earlier, where we meet a young, adventurous, romantic girl named Alice Edevane. We aren’t sure what it is or who she is, but we learn she will never forget what she’s done. In August 1933, a young woman buries something in the woods. The story takes place in the early 1900’s, the 1930’s (1932 - 1933 for the most part), and in 2003. The novel transports the reader to different time-periods throughout a century. The Lake House by Kate Morton is about diving into the past. If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay.
