How a Woman Becomes a Lake by Marjorie Celona

 A woman calls police, telling them she has found a little boy lost in the woods, but when a police officer arrives on the scene, there is no sign of either the woman or the child. The mystery slowly unravels throughout the book, which is told through the perspectives of several key characters. The reader will learn about the complex relationships these characters have with others close to them, and that sometimes, spontaneous actions and decisions have far reaching and unexpected consequences.

I found the plot to be fast-paced and I read it quickly. Although I had an inkling about what may have transpired, I was still surprised by how everything played out. I gave this book a rating of 4 stars.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Marjorie Celona, and Hamish Hamilton for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
