The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman - audio book on Wilbor

This was a great book to listen to. Jane Hudson was a student at Heart Lake School twenty years ago. She came from a poor family and attended on a scholarship. She formed a close bond to the other scholarship student named Lucy. The two of them end up sharing a dorm room with Deirdre. By the end of her senior year Jane had lost her two roommates and Lucy's brother Matt (who is also Jane's love interest) to suicide. Perhaps the legend of the lake claiming the lives of children is true! Now Jane is a Latin teacher at the school. She has separated from her husband and is living in a cottage with her daughter. Jane is shocked when a page from her high school journal shows up. Then it seems that the events of 20 years ago are beginning to repeat themselves. The story goes back and forth between the present and 20 years ago. It certainly kept my interest. A good book!
