http://nhpr.org en http://nhpr.org/post/lake-people <p>An unnamed lake in Kettleborough, New Hampshire has an almost mythological pull on the characters in a <a href="http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/books/192525721.html?refer=y">new novel</a> by <strong><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/160810/abi-maxwell?sort=best_13wk_3month">Abi Maxwell</a>. </strong>Bodies disappear into the ice, the shamed and broken hearted sometimes float…sometimes are swallowed in its depths. A young woman named Alice, abandoned as an infant, is found floating in a tethered canoe. Its mysteries are deep and startling, the inventions of a first-time novelist who is also the assistant librarian at the Gilford public library. Abi will read from her new book, <em><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/book/220564/lake-people-by-abi-maxwell">Lake People</a></em> tomorrow night at <a href="http://www.gibsonsbookstore.com/event/abi-maxwell-lake-people">Gibson’s Books in Concord</a>.</p><p> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:21:15 +0000 Virginia Prescott 23864 at http://nhpr.org Lake People http://nhpr.org/post/milfoil-infiltrates-two-more-new-hampshire-lakes <p>The New Hampshire<a href="http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/exoticspecies/index.htm"> Department of Environmental Services </a>has found two more lakes in New Hampshire that have been infested with milfoil, an invasive aquatic plant.
