2.86/5 (7 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Luke Rolfes’s ambitious debut novel, Sleep Lake, ties together domestic drama with elements of a crime thriller, amplified by the pressure cooker of ecological disaster.

Janie and Thomas are a married couple, once so in love, but now starting to be careworn by work and parenthood and a culture of anxiety that affects us all. They want so much to be their best selves, not simply for the sake of their relationship, but also to preserve an idea of themselves as a devoted couple. But their best efforts might not be enough—not with temptations all around. For Janie a handsome and talented work colleague and for Thomas a beautiful friend from the gym create the circumstances that will gnaw away at their happiness. And with the arrival of Janie’s sister, Ava, whose life is at loose ends, their fates seem all but sealed.

Set against a backdrop of menace and impending doom, as a serial rapist prowls the town and the dam holding back the lake is found to have serious cracks, Sleep Lake pushes toward its surprising conclusion in narrative rhythms that Rolfes controls with a virtuoso hand. This is a novel that will linger in your heart, and your mind, for a long, long time.
