While the novel presents brief vignettes in the lives of several characters, each interconnected story is given its own true, clear voice. A triumph." Vacationland , in her capable hands, becomes a destination that you will want to visit again and again."

Naledi Lodge on Little Hatchet Lake is a now-faded Minnesota summer resort, a place of "water in all its incarnations—stream, swamp, puddle, or lake." For fans of Richard Russo and Margaret Atwood, this is a brilliantly engaging novel, focusing on the power of memory, new discoveries, and shared experiences.

Vacationland is a book that grabs you, not because of some harrowing drama or gripping plot twist, not due to a flamboyant cast of characters or unexpected turn of events or even because ordinary people have been thrust into extraordinary circumstances.
