‘Crow Lake’ is a slow-burning story of families growing up and tearing each other apart. Kate, now a zoologist, can identify organisms under a microscope, but seems blind to the tragedy of her emotional life. She thinks she has outgrown her family, but she can’t seem to outgrow her childhood.

Description

The Morrison siblings have been haunted by tragedy since the sudden death of their parents in an accident when they were young.

Kate found an escape from the legacy of their dark past in her passion for the natural world. Now a zoologist far away from the small farming community where she grew up, she thinks she’s outgrown her three brothers, who were once her entire world.

But Kate can’t seem to escape her childhood or lighten the weight of their mutual past.
