Reseña del libro "Lakewood (en Inglés)"
In 1973, in idyllic Lakewood, New York, this beautiful coming-of-age story is about a lonely college student who returns to his hometown eleven years after his twin sister's death. Robert English accepts a summer job housesitting for his history professor. If Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel proclaimed you can never return home, Robert attempts the impossible, to return to his childhood to reconcile his past, to find answers to his sister's death, to have a summer of adventure and love, to overcome the family torment for what they did not prevent, and to ease the guilt he suffers as a sole survivor. While housesitting, Robert returns to his childhood to reconcile his family's tragedy, but along the way, he finds adventure, love, and sex. This young medical student, flawed like all men and women, loses the one woman he truly loves and finds himself alone again. Lust, lies, and seduction tempt him away from her and leave him damaged, almost beyond repair. He must find a way back into her heart.
