'Set on Tasmania’s rugged west coast, I Am A Lake is a coming of age story exploring the inextricably linked lives of Alice, Mum and Nugget. Alice is a young girl who knows her own mind; she knows she wants more, she perhaps knows more than she should, but she also knows there is something very big that she doesn't know. A deeply entrenched family secret haunts her nights, and threatens to submerge all her dreams.
'Offering glimpses of humanity and compassion in a harsh landscape; I Am A Lake is a story that is both local and universal, compelling and confronting, and ultimately redemptive.'
