Frank D. Gilroy's "Lake" is a wonderful tale of a New Jersey vacation community at a lake, and spans 25 years from the 1920's through World War II.  It is written in a series of vignettes which are short, and tell about a lake resident or something that happens, or a short piece where one of the summer residents "speaks."  The lake community has no water in the winter because the Property Owners Association doesn't want just anyone living there year round.The Kindle Single follows the residents who are there mainly from Memorial Day to Labor Day and we are fortunate to listen in at the Poetry Club meetings as well as some private conversations. Throughout the story, we hear from each person at the Lake, and share in their lives and especially their summers.There is a lot of humor in "Lake" as well as sadness and unfulfilled dreams and the consequences of war.  It's a very good look at the characters who make up the summer lake community.The writing is superb and Frank D. Gilroy is a Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning author.  "Lake" makes for very enjoyable reading.
