The Disappearing Andersons of Loon Lake

by Jess Wells

Genres: Literary Fiction; Short Stories

Synopsis

Love, loss, irony and humor abound in the lives of eight families living around Loon Lake, a shallow fishing spot in Northern Michigan. Whether it’s the story of a young dreamer and a bully; a man looking forward to retirement and the family that stands in his way; a teacher facing ethical choices; or a family coping with disaster, these stories delight. Wells’ “use of language is like music,” critics say.

“From the clear and compelling voice of the author comes a narrative that will arrest the attention of any good listener. The writing has a poetic quality that will strongly resonate in the heart of the reader.” Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
