On Mystic Lake

A Novel

By: Kristin Hannah

Narrated by: Susan Ericksen

On the day her daughter leaves for college, Anne Colwater's husband of 20 years announces he wants a divorce. Her roles of wife and mother suddenly gone, Annie retreats to her childhood home of Mystic, Washington, to heal. There she finds her old friend Nick, suddenly widowed and unable to cope with his emotionally scarred young daughter, Izzie.

Annie agrees to look after Izzie, and soon finds herself caring for both father and daughter with a joy and passion she never expected - and she finds her love returned with a fervor she had never even hoped for. But love is never simple, and it is not until Annie learns a hard lesson from her own grown daughter that she finds the strength to claim the happiness she has earned.

Hallmark story

Would say it’s my least favorite of this author’s books. It was a good story, even though a bit predictable. I would have loved a last chapter about her return to Nick & Izzy.

A Good Story

This is not the best book I have ever listened to, but it is good. Story line is consistent and pulls you in. Narration is even and well done. Characters are interesting. It is not the best of Kristin Hannah, but I would still reccomend it.

wonderful characters

this was beautiful, heart wrenching at times, but beautifully written. I couldn't stop listening to it. so well written

Amazing

Shame on me for doubting Kristin Hannah. I went into this with low expectations since this was an older book from the author. It was just as amazing as all of the others I have read. I loved it.

Love Her Books

I like Kristin story telling very much. I enjoy the fact of story taking place in towns I know.

Meh

Predictable...Guess it could be called Chic Lit..But I kept reading...nice silly little break amidst all the ugliness these days..
Anyway Not my fav of hers ...🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay

Kristin Hannah’s writing certainly improves with her newer books. This one is okay. Not my favorite.

Captivating

I loved this story of a woman deciding to not be a doormat, and her husband coming to realization that he wasn’t good at relationships.

Engaging, if predictable, story

Explores issues around love and loss and how our past influences our later choices, this was an enjoyable listen

Learning how to be true to your self.

I loved Everything about the book! Her descriptions of feeling, sights, and smells. She make her audience feel like we are right there with the characters. I will be thinking about this story for weeks or until I start another.
