110 reviewsA dystopian page-turner about the coming of age of a young hero
A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka, the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once his grandfather's and the vague idea of searching for his mother, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across & walk around the lake & finally dive to its bottom.
The Lake is a raw account of life in a devastated land & the harsh, primitive circumstances under which people fight to survive.
