It was the first book I read by French author George Sand, whose real name is Aurore Dupin. If it's this misleading, I don't think I'll read it again :)
This is the first time I have read a book whose title and content do not match this much. I bought Cursed Lake as a horror-thriller book, but it turned out to be a complete disappointment in this genre. It is really interesting how the author made the mistake of coming up with such a title.
Cursed Lake focuses on a story completely independent of its name. Germain, a widower with three children, decides to go to Fourche to meet another rich widow with the intention of marrying her. At that time, he is asked to take Marie, a poor girl living on their farm, near his destination to work. And they set off together. His son also joins them. On this journey, he falls in love with Marie and they marry despite the age difference between them.
Yes, this is exactly what the book is about! The Cursed Lake is only mentioned half-heartedly for a page or so. During the trip, Germain goes to meet the woman he will marry, and when he returns, he finds Marie and her son missing. He goes to look for them and comes across an old woman around the Cursed Lake, where they stopped one night. The woman says that this lake is the devil's lake and adds that a child also drowned. Additionally, those wandering around the lake were losing their sense of direction. This much. That's all we can learn about the lake. It had no impact on the characters, nor was there any tension. It was very simple. It was irrelevant and ridiculous. I think the name Cursed Lake is a complete fiasco. I wish the author had chosen the name differently and not presented us with that short, strange dialogue. I think the author could have produced a much more successful work with this story.
The only thing I liked was that the plot was well handled. Dialogues were okay. However, as I said, it was completely irrelevant to its genre and title. Reading didn't do much for me, unfortunately.
