The Long-Shining Waters

This book tells the stories of three women living by Lake Superior, hundreds of years apart, of different cultures, and yet connected by their connection to the lake. The lake itself has a persona that we glimpse, through the dreams of the women, through the stories that the characters tell about it, through the bodies (both flesh and stone) that are found there. I enjoyed reading this, but I felt the least interest in the character that the book spent the most time with–I would have liked her connection to the others to be stronger, or for the book to have spent more time with the other characters. Still, a really good read, especially for anyone interested in the history of Lake Superior.
