Over het boek
Lakeways is a collection of short stories about growing up at the lake in central Minnesota. The essays cover all the vital topics: chiggers, swimming lessons, lawn care, docks, and many more.
Those who grew up on or around lakes will be immediately transported back to the carefree days of summer, chasing across deep blue lake waters in a fishing boat, feeling the glory of getting up on water skis for the first time and learning the dark strategies of card games in the cottage on a rainy day. Who can forget the joy of arrival after the last day of school and the melancholy that sets in a week before school restarts in September?
For those who did not grow up with lakewater in their veins, these short vignettes give the color and feel of lake life and those who swear by it as an elixir of youth.
