DAUGHTERS OF THE LAKE

This REMARKABLE READ -- ISBN 978-1503901339, authored by Wendy Webb -- is going to be your next reading assignment, ladies. 

THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO NOTICE AS YOU GO ALONG IN THIS BOOK.

CLIFFIE'S NOTES:

>> The piscatorial love in this book is evident on EVERY PAGE.

>> It is the object of wonder and envy by those in this story who do not have it.  Not horror -- not nausea -- not dread.  WONDER and ENVY.  How long have we been waiting for a book like this to come out???

>> The recruiting operative in this story is CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE, at least to us, as one of Hank's all-male detachment.

>> I hope this story will help put to rest the rumors circumating among the newer recruits that as our landfish operatives intermarry with Shaved Monkeys, their piscatorial abilities and those of their children are somehow -- you should pardon the expression -- WATERED DOWN.  Nothing of the sort happens here, MUCH AS IN REAL LIFE. 

>> The very best thing about this novel is that although it's called a Gothic and has horror-story trappings, THE ONLY BAD GUYS HERE ARE HUMAN.  The fish bring nothing but HAPPINESS to everything they touch.

>> This wildly-popular book belongs in ALL your home libraries.  Buy yourselves copies.  In hardcover.  Now.
