Annie and Nick are both linked by loss in their families. What events in her past have spurred her to do so? How has she been rewarded for her selflessness, and how has it been damaging to her development?ĥ. After Blake asks for a divorce, Annie admits that she’s put her family’s needs above her own. Why do you think Kristin Hannah tells the story through several narrative points of view, including those of Annie, Blake, Nick, and Izzy? What does this add to your understanding of the novel? Is there one character that you consider to be the true voice of On Mystic Lake?Ĥ. At the beginning of the novel, how is Annie, in effect, trapped by her own image? How has she fashioned that persona, and how is it the creation of her husband, Blake?ģ.
How do these two acts set the tone for the rest of the book? How is it significant that Annie has little agency, or choice, in these decisions?Ģ. On Mystic Lake opens with two scenes of leaving - Natalie fleeing California for England, and Blake quitting his marriage.
