The Woman in the House: Is The Woman Across the Lake a real book?

In Netflix’s newest original series The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, Kristen Bell stars as Anna, a heartbroken woman who spends her days cozying up with a glass of wine watching life pass her by while watching the world around her from the comfort of her favorite chair.

While the world outside her window ultimately leads her down an unexpected path, when she’s not witnessing and investigating potential murders Anna loves to escape into a good book.

Her first book of choice within the series is a novel titled The Woman Across the Lake by Matlida Narrows, a mystery novel that Anna can’t seem to put down. It seems to be quite the page-turner for Anna, but is it an actual book you can purchase?

Is The Woman Across the Lake an actual book?

If you’re hoping to get your hands on a copy of The Woman Across the Lake by Matilda Narrows, we have some disappointing news for you. The Woman Across the Lake is not an actual book and therefore you won’t find the book in stores or in an online store.

It’s not uncommon for shows and movies to create fictional brands, shows, movies and even books within their universes. This is generally done to avoid having to ask companies for permission to use their products leading writers to change product names or create entirely made-up brands as an alternative.

The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window season 1 is streaming now on Netflix.
