About this listen

Kit McMahon lives in the small Irish town of Lough Glass, a place where nothing changes - until the day Kit's mother disappears and Kit is haunted by the memory of her mother, alone at the kitchen table, tears streaming down her face.

Now Kit, too, has secrets: of the night she discovered a letter and burned it, unopened. The night her mother was lost. The night everything changed forever....

Critic reviews

"The Glass Lake is Maeve Binchy at her spellbinding best - you'll never want it to end." (Woman's Journal)

"Maeve Binchy really knows what makes women tick. She crystallises their hopes, dreams and passions in her novels and now she has done it again in The Glass Lake...a marvellous read." (Daily Mirror)

Kate Binchy brings this wonderfully evocative tale to life in such realistic narration which beautifully enhances the original story. An interesting and enthralling story that will keep the listener entertained for many hours. Well worth the purchase.

Excellent

I would have liked to have heard more about some of the other characters and how their lives shaped up, but on the whole I really enjoyed this book/listen even my objectionable teenage daughter became quite engrossed in it, which in itself is quite an achievement.
