Description
The Starling family regularly gathers from various corners of the United States at their vacation home by the lake in North Carolina. Twice a year, parents Richard and Lisa, academics from Cornell University, meet with their sons Michael and Thad and their partners Diane and Jake. However, this tradition will soon be a thing of the past – the parents have unexpectedly decided to sell the house and spend their retirement in Florida. Thus, everyone is facing their last weekend at the lake. However, a tragic event that the Starlings witness disrupts the peaceful gathering and brings to light secrets that each family member has long hidden. David James Poissant's novel At the Lake places him among the best contemporary Southern authors. This confident, witty, and deeply felt work recalls the classics of the 60s and 70s.
