Search - Your Oasis on Flame Lake

I loved this book! It was entertaining and funny, and an easy read.

Another GREAT Lorna Landvik!!

Every book she has written I have loved. This is no exception

I really love Lorna Landvik's style of writing. This was a good book. Each chapter is narrated by one of five people & it centers on two families who are good friends.

As always, Landvik nails her characters.

This was a good book, not the usual quirky characters as in Angry Wives or House of Curl, but I couldn't put it down.

Another really enjoyable Landvik book.

If you liked Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons...you'll enjoy this one! A touching and funny story of a group of middle-aged friends opening a nightclub!

Best friends fast approaching forty in the small Minnesota town of Flame Lake, Devera and BiDi were recently voted "least changed" at their twentieth high school reunion---a label neither one finds very appealing. For each craves a change in her life: Devera desires a break from her humdrum marital routine; BiDi longs to connect with her distant fourteen-year-old daughter, the only girl on the high school hockey team---not to mention to jump-start a sex drive stuck in neutral. So when Devera's husband decides to fulfill his long time dream of opening a nightclub in his basement, Your Oasis on Flame Lake arrives not a moment too soon. Nothing fancy, it's just a BYOB joint to hang out in, sing, dance, tell jokes, and be yourself. But then an unexpected crisis throws both families into chaos, forcing them all to take stock of their lives---and learn the power of forgiveness.

Landvik's characters are always fun and seem so real, like your own neighbor. This book is a nice read. (also includes a discussion group questions)
