Nameless Lake

Nameless Lake traces with forensic intensity the moments that shape our lives but go unregarded because we don’t know how to talk about them. ‘It’s a brilliant novel, I think, so sharply observed and so even handed in its treatment of the sexes.’ —Patrick GaleNameless Lake is about the unspoken pressures of gender and desire, told through the shifting dynamics of a lifelong friendship. Emma and Madryn grow up with dreams of escaping their seaside hometown, sustained by an obsession with photography and secret acts of vandalism. But adulthood brings its own limitations, and Emma yearns for connection beyond the constraints of her family. Drawn deeper into Madryn’s private life, Emma feels new possibilities awakening within herself, but when Madryn faces a backlash from her controlling partner, Emma must finally break out of her role as passive observer.
