Ladies Of The Lake: Women Rooted in Water

Rating:
Summary: A satisfying read
Review: I enjoyed this book....the photography, the layout, and the writing are all pleasing. The twenty-three interviews with the "ladies of the lake" are lively and illuminating. Each one tells something about the Lake Placid area and history as well as the individual's own story. The themes of family and place will strike a chord with readers who are "rooted in water", as well as with those who have found their family and place in other settings. The book is a satisfying read. The time it takes to read it will pass quickly.

Summary: An enjoyable survey of emotion
Review: Inspired by the story of King Arthur's encounter with the Celtic water goddess Vivienne, and enhanced with the remarkable photography of Christine Thomsen, Ladies Of The Lake: Women Rooted In Water by Kathleen Bagley is an assembly of interviews with twenty-three women from the shores of Placid Lake. 155 photographs, in black-and-white as well as full color, illustrate resplendent personalities intimately connected to the water and the environment. An enjoyable survey of emotion, passion, and unity with transcendent natural forces.
